Dynamic allostery can drive cold adaptation in enzymes.

Abstract excerpt

Adaptation of organisms to environmental niches is a hallmark of evolution. One prevalent example is that of thermal adaptation, in which two descendants evolve at different temperature extremes1,2. Underlying the physiological differences between such organisms are changes in enzymes that catalyse essential reactions 3 , with orthologues from each organism undergoing adaptive mutations that preserve similar...
