Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels: structural basis of ligand efficacy and allosteric modulation [PDF]
, 1997 Most working proteins, including metabolic enzymes, transcription regulators, and membrane receptors, transporters, and ion channels, share the property of allosteric coupling. The term 'allosteric' means that these proteins mediate indirect interactions

The allosteric regulation of pyruvate kinase [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1996 Crystallographic and mutagenesis studies have unravelled the general features of the allosteric transition mechanism in pyruvate kinase. The enzyme displays a dramatic conformational change in going from the T‐ to the R‐state. All three domains forming each subunit of the tetrameric enzyme undergo simultaneous and concerted rotations, in such a way ...

Allosteric modulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest family of transmembrane proteins, regulate a wide array of physiological processes in response to extracellular signals. Although these receptors have proven to be the most successful class of drug targets,

Dynamic allosteric control of noncovalent DNA catalysis reactions [PDF]
, 2008 Allosteric modulation of catalysis kinetics is prevalent in proteins and has been rationally designed for ribozymes. Here, we present an allosteric DNA molecule that, in its active configuration, catalyzes a noncovalent DNA reaction.

Allosteric Regulation of E-Cadherin Adhesion [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015 Cadherins are transmembrane adhesion proteins that maintain intercellular cohesion in all tissues, and their rapid regulation is essential for organized tissue remodeling. Despite some evidence that cadherin adhesion might be allosterically regulated, testing of this has been hindered by the difficulty of quantifying altered E-cadherin binding affinity
