  • Tight regulation of these processes is fundamental in all kingdoms of life and allostery represents one of the most commmon and powerful means of modulating protein activity[ 1 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Using an easily controllable physical perturbation (temperature) to predict the conformational response to physiological perturbations suggests the specific conformations to enforce at allosteric sites to achieve long-range control over protein activity. (lanl.gov)
  • In previous apo room-temperature structures, the active site and allosteric sites adopted alternate conformations, including open and closed conformations of the active-site WPD loop and of a distal allosteric site. (iucr.org)
  • By contrast, in our SSX structure the active site is best fitted with a single conformation, but the distal allosteric site is best fitted with alternate conformations. (iucr.org)
