Abstract excerpt
Allostery, also called action at a distance and ubiquitous in biological systems, is so important that it is also hailed as "the second secret of life." In certain proteins, instead of conformational changes, proteins exhibit "dynamic" allostery. S100B is a Ca2+ binding protein, where TRTK binding enhances Ca2+ binding at a site 25 Å away from the metalation site and serves as a model to study "dynamic"...
