Allostery is fundamental to a lot of biochemical processes.
The origins of allostery can be seen directly by looking at atomic level structures of proteins (see X-ray crystallography).
These high maginification structures show how the protein is in one shape when bound to one molecule and another shape when bound to a second.

  allostery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
"Allostery" is derived from the Greek "other site", referring to the typical scenario in which an enzyme's allosteric and active sites are distinct.
The concerted model of allostery postulates that enzyme subunits are connected in such a way that a conformational change in one subunit is necessarily conferred to all other subunits.
The sequential model of allostery holds that subunits are not connected in such a way that a conformational change in one induces a similar change in the others.

 Allosteric regulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Effectors that enhance the protein's activity are referred to as allosteric activators, while those that decrease the protein's activation are called allosteric inhibitors.
The term allostery comes from the Greek allos, "other", and stereos, "shape", referring to the regulatory site of an allosteric protein being separate from its active site.
The concerted model of allostery, also referred to as the symmetry model or MWC model, postulates that enzyme subunits are connected in such a way that a conformational change in one subunit is necessarily conferred to all other subunits.

 UCSC Biomedical Research - Prof. David Kliger
Allostery down regulates the ligand-binding strength of the R quaternary state in the T state, enabling efficient off-loading of oxygen to the tissues.
Time-resolved CD and MCD of the tryptophan amino acid residues showed that photolysis of ligands from the R state first triggers formation of the Trp b37-Asp a94 hydrogen bond, pictured here in the "hinge" region of the interface that connects the two dimers of the hemoglobin tetramer.
Allostery is a mechanism that regulates the function of many proteins by changing the shape of an active site on the protein when a ligand binds to another site.

 The Topics Archive » Blog Archive » Coarse-Grained Model Of Entropic Allostery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Many signaling functions in molecular biology require proteins to bind to substrates such as DNA in response to environmental signals such as the simultaneous binding to a small molecule.
An alternative entropic mechanism of “allostery” suggests that the inducer ligand changes the intramolecular vibrational entropy, not just the mean static structure.
We present a quantitative, coarse-grained model of entropic allostery, which suggests design rules for internal cohesive potentials in proteins employing this effect.

 Enzyme Kinetics Chapter 5 - Sequential hypothesis of allostery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The concerted hypothesis was based on the assumption that one enzyme molecule could contain only one type of subunit - R or T. The sequential hypothesis accepts the possibility that mixed enzymes, containing both types may occur.
To some extent the symmetry hypothesis can be seen as an extreme case of the sequential one in which the T/R combinations can exist, but they are so unstable that they don't to any significant extent.
So far we've been studying allostery in general terms.

Enzyme Kinetics Chapter 5 - Concerted hypothesis of allostery
The concerted hypothesis of allostery, introduced by Monod, Wyman and Changeux, is a simple and elegant explanation for positive substrate cooperativity and the influence of allosteric effectors which are common features of allosteric enzymes.
It is based on the idea that an allosteric enzyme consists of a number of subunits which can exist in two different conformations, or three dimensional structures.
