Abstract excerpt
Allostery is a regulatory phenomenon whereby ligand binding to one site influences the binding of the same or a different ligand to another site on a macromolecule. The physical origins of allosteric regulation remain under intense investigation. In general terms, ligand-induced structural changes, perturbations of residue-specific dynamics, and surrounding solvent molecules all potentially contribute to the...
