PASSer: Prediction of Allosteric Sites Server [PDF]
Allostery is considered important in regulating protein\u27s activity. Drug development depends on the understanding of allosteric mechanisms, especially the identification of allosteric sites, which is prerequisite in drug discovery and design.

Coarse-grained models of biomolecule dynamics and allostery [PDF]
Recently, it has become increasingly accepted that thermal fluctuations take active part in functional tasks of biological molecules. We employ a set of coarse-grained models to investigate the mechanism of transmission of allosteric signal via spatial ...

Allosteric rescue of catalytically impaired ATP phosphoribosyltransferase variants links protein dynamics to active-site electrostatic preorganisation [PDF]
ATP phosphoribosyltransferase catalyses the first step of histidine biosynthesis and is controlled via a complex allosteric mechanism where the regulatory protein HisZ enhances catalysis by the catalytic protein HisGS while mediating allosteric ...

Although the 3D structures of active and inactive cannabinoid receptors type 2 (CB2) are available, neither the X-ray crystal nor the cryo-EM structure of CB2-orthosteric ligand-modulator has been resolved, prohibiting the drug discovery and development ...

Drugs for Allosteric Sites on Receptors [PDF]
The presence of druggable, topographically distinct allosteric sites on a wide range of receptor families has offered new paradigms for small molecules to modulate receptor function. Moreover, ligands that target allosteric sites offer significant advantages over the corresponding orthosteric ligands in terms of selectivity, including subtype ...

Druggable Allosteric Sites in β‐Propeller Lectins [PDF]
AbstractCarbohydrate‐binding proteins (lectins) are auspicious targets in drug discovery to combat antimicrobial resistance; however, their non‐carbohydrate drug‐like inhibitors are still unavailable. Here, we present a druggable pocket in a β‐propeller lectin BambL from Burkholderia ambifaria as a potential target for allosteric inhibitors.

The evolution of an allosteric site in phosphorylase [PDF]
Glycogen phosphorylases consist of a conserved catalytic core onto which different regulatory sites are added. By comparing the structures of isozymes, we hope to understand the structural principles of allosteric regulation in this family of enzymes. Here, we focus on the differences in the glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) binding sites of two isozymes ...

Discovery of novel allosteric effectors based on the predicted allosteric sites for Escherichia coli D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase. [PDF]
D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PGDH) from Escherichia coli catalyzes the first critical step in serine biosynthesis, and can be allosterically inhibited by serine.

Discovery of an allosteric site in the caspases [PDF]
Allosteric regulation of proteins by conformational change is a primary means of biological control. Traditionally it has been difficult to identify and characterize novel allosteric sites and ligands that freeze these conformational states. We present a site-directed approach using Tethering for trapping inhibitory small molecules at sites away from ...

Protein kinase (CK2) has emerged as an attractive cancer therapeutic target and recent efforts have been made to develop its inhibitors. However, the development of selective inhibitors remains challenging because of the highly conserved ATP-binding ...
