Olfaction: Allosteric modulation
Current Biology, 2023New research indicates that the odor-evoked responses of human olfactory receptors can be enhanced via the non-competitive binding of an allosteric modulator. This modulatory mechanism adds an additional layer of complexity to the peripheral encoding of odors.

Allosteric modulation of caspases
Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2011Caspases are proteolytic enzymes mainly involved in the induction and execution phases of apoptosis. This type of programmed cell death is an essential regulatory process required to maintain the integrity and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. Inappropriate apoptosis is attributed a key role in many human diseases, including neurodegenerative ...

Allosteric modulation of monomeric proteins*
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2005AbstractMultimeric proteins (e.g. hemoglobin) are considered to be the prototypes of allosteric enzymes, whereas monomeric proteins (e.g. myoglobin) usually are assumed to be nonallosteric. However, the modulation of the functional properties of monomeric proteins by heterotropic allosteric effectors casts doubts on this assumption.

Journal of Receptors and Signal Transduction, 2007
This article discusses a model to describe the effects of molecules that bind to a site on the receptor separate from that of the endogenous agonist to actively produce receptor signals (direct agonism). In addition, these molecules also modify the biological responses of the endogenous agonist (either potentiation or antagonism).

GPCR Allosteric Modulator Discovery
2019G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) influence virtually every aspect of human physiology; about one-third of all marketed drugs target members of this family. GPCR allosteric ligands hold the promise of improved subtype selectivity, spatiotemporal sensitivity, and possible biased property over typical orthosteric ligands.

Neurotensin Receptor Allosterism Revealed in Complex with a Biased Allosteric Modulator
Biochemistry, 2023The NTSR1 neurotensin receptor (NTSR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) found in the brain and peripheral tissues with neurotensin (NTS) being its endogenous peptide ligand. In the brain, NTS modulates dopamine neuronal activity, induces opioid-independent analgesia, and regulates food intake.
