Quaternary structure is an essential component that contributes to the sophisticated allosteric regulation mechanism in a key enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]
The first enzyme of the shikimate pathway, 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase (DAH7PS), adopts a range of distinct allosteric regulation mechanisms in different organisms, related to different quaternary assemblies.

Prospects for the use of allosteric drugs in real-world clinical practice
While the clinical validity of the use of allosteric regulation is known, scientists are working on the discovery of new methods for the development of allosteric drugs that can modulate the functions of enzymes, depending on the desired therapeutic ...

Molecular Structure Underlying the Allosteric Mechanism of Caffeine Detection in Taste Sensor
The use of taste sensors with lipid/polymer membranes is one of the methods to evaluate taste. As previously reported, taste sensors can detect non-charged substances such as caffeine by modifying the lipid/polymer membranes with hydroxybenzoic acids ...

Allosteres to regulate neurotransmitter sulfonation [PDF]
Catecholamine neurotransmitter levels in the synapses of the brain shape human disposition-cognitive flexibility, aggression, depression, and reward seeking-and manipulating these levels is a major objective of the pharmaceutical industry. Certain neurotransmitters are extensively sulfonated and inactivated by human sulfotransferase 1A3 (SULT1A3).

Computational Analysis of Residue Interaction Networks and Coevolutionary Relationships in the Hsp70 Chaperones: A Community-Hopping Model of Allosteric Regulation and Communication. [PDF]
Allosteric interactions in the Hsp70 proteins are linked with their regulatory mechanisms and cellular functions. Despite significant progress in structural and functional characterization of the Hsp70 proteins fundamental questions concerning modularity

Multiple conformations in solution of the maize C4-phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase isozyme
The photosynthetic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase isozyme from C4 plants (PEPC-C4) has a complex allosteric regulation, involving positive cooperativity in binding the substrate phosphoenolpyruvate as well as positive and negative allosteric effectors ...

The Allosteric Regulation of Pyruvate Kinase [PDF]
Pyruvate kinase (PK) is critical for the regulation of the glycolytic pathway. The regulatory properties of Escherichia coli were investigated by mutating six charged residues involved in interdomain salt bridges (Arg(271), Arg(292), Asp(297), and Lys(413)) and in the binding of the allosteric activator (Lys(382) and Arg(431)).

Activity modulation and allosteric control of a scaffolded DNAzyme using a dynamic DNA nanostructure. [PDF]
Recognition of the fundamental importance of allosteric regulation in biology dates back to not long after its discovery in the 1960s. Our ability to rationally engineer this potentially useful property into normally non-allosteric catalysts, however ...
