Notes on stochastic (bio)-logic gates: the role of allosteric cooperativity [PDF]
Recent experimental breakthroughs have finally allowed to implement in-vitro reaction kinetics (the so called {\em enzyme based logic}) which code for two-inputs logic gates and mimic the stochastic AND (and NAND) as well as the stochastic OR (and NOR ...

On the kinetic and allosteric regulatory properties of the ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from Rhodococcus jostii: An approach to evaluate glycogen metabolism in oleaginous bacteria [PDF]
Rhodococcus spp. are oleaginous bacteria that accumulate glycogen during exponential growth. Despite the importance of these microorganisms in biotechnology, little is known about the regulation of carbon and energy storage, mainly the relationship ...

Allosteric interactions are an important contributor to the catalytic properties of enzyme. Here the authors demonstrate—using the prototypical protein kinase PKA—that the allosteric cooperativity underscoring substrate recognition and product release ...

Although an alternative pathway has been suggested, the prevailing view is that starch synthesis in cereal endosperm is controlled by the activity of the cytosolic isoform of ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase). In rice, the cytosolic AGPase isoform is

Enzyme Inhibition by Allosteric Capture of an Inactive Conformation [PDF]
All members of the human herpesvirus protease (HHV Pr) family are active as weakly associating dimers but inactive as monomers. A small-molecule allosteric inhibitor of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus protease (KSHV Pr) traps the enzyme in an inactive monomeric state where the C-terminal helices are unfolded and the hydrophobic dimer interface ...

Genome-scale architecture of small molecule regulatory networks and the fundamental trade-off between regulation and enzymatic activity [PDF]
Metabolic flux is in part regulated by endogenous small molecules that modulate the catalytic activity of an enzyme, e.g., allosteric inhibition. In contrast to transcriptional regulation of enzymes, technical limitations have hindered the production of ...

Turning up the heat mimics allosteric signaling in imidazole-glycerol phosphate synthase
Allosteric drugs have the potential to revolutionize biomedicine due to their enhanced selectivity and protection against overdosage. However, we need to better understand allosteric mechanisms in order to fully harness their potential in drug discovery.
