Biochemical pharmacology of the positive allosteric modulation of the GABAb receptor "in Vitro" and "in Vivo" [PDF]
Allosteric modulators of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) interact with binding sites on the receptor molecule that are topographically distinct from the classic orthosteric site.

Allosteric Modulation of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors
An allosteric modulator is a ligand that binds to an allosteric site on the receptor and changes receptor conformation to produce increase (positive cooperativity) or decrease (negative cooperativity) in the binding or action of an orthosteric agonist (e.

Conformational transitions and allosteric modulation in a heteromeric glycine receptor
Glycine receptors (GlyR) are a critical postsynaptic component of spinal neurons. Here, the auhtors present cryo-EM structures of a heteromeric GlyR in the presence of an antagonist, agonist and agonist with a positive allosteric modulator.

p185(BCR/ABL) has a lower sensitivity than p210(BCR/ABL) to the allosteric inhibitor GNF-2 in Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphatic leukemia [PDF]
Background: The t(9;22) translocation leads to the formation of the chimeric breakpoint cluster region/c-abl oncogene 1 (BCR/ABL) fusion gene on der22, the Philadelphia chromosome.

PTK7 is a positive allosteric modulator of GPR133 signaling in glioblastoma
Summary: The adhesion G-protein-coupled receptor GPR133 (ADGRD1) supports growth of the brain malignancy glioblastoma. How the extracellular interactome of GPR133 in glioblastoma modulates signaling remains unknown.

Allosteric inhibition enhances the efficacy of ABL kinase inhibitors to target unmutated BCR-ABL and BCR-ABL-T315I [PDF]
Background: Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphatic leukemia (Ph + ALL) are caused by the t(9;22), which fuses BCR to ABL resulting in deregulated ABL-tyrosine kinase activity.
