| | E179: Xray Structural Studies Of Allosteric Effectors-Hemoglobin Complexes |
 | | Our goal is to understand the structural basis for the allosteric activity of a series of effectors of hemoglobin at the atomic level by means of X-ray crystallography. | | | Results will be discussed with respect to the allosteric theory of hemoglobin. | | | To gain some insight into this problem, we have focused our work on a single series of effectors that show very different degrees of allosteric activity. |

| | An analog is a drug whose structure is related to that of another drug but whose chemical and biological properties may be quite different. | | | An agonist is an endogenous substance or a drug that can interact with a receptor and initiate a physiological or a pharmacological response characteristic of that receptor (contraction, relaxation, secretion, enzyme activation, etc.). | | | As a consequence of the binding to Allosteric binding sites, the interaction with the normal ligand may be either enhanced or reduced. |

| | MOLECULAR BIOLOGY: ALLOSTERIC REGULATION OF RNA |
| | In allosteric proteins, multiple subunits act cooperatively: Once a regulator is bound to one subunit, another subunit responds with dramatically enhanced affinity, allowing the protein's activity to be modulated as a function of slight changes in the regulator's concentration. | | | Binding of this regulatory compound to the allosteric site induces structural rearrangements in the protein that are relayed to the active site, which then becomes either stable or unstable. | | | This cooperative activation regulates the expression of genes involved in glycine metabolism without the need for any additional proteins. |

The enzyme will remain activated until the allosteric activator leaves the regulatory site. | | | When the allosteric activator is not bound to the regulatory site, the active site of the enzyme is not able to bind substrate and catalyze the production of product. |
