Topic: Enzyme allostery

	Enzymes, Kinetics and Diagnostic Use
		Plasma membrane enzymes regulate catalysis within cells in response to extracellular signals, and enzymes of the circulatory system are responsible for regulating the clotting of blood.
		Enzymes composed wholly of protein are known as simple enzymes in contrast to complex enzymes, which are composed of protein plus a relatively small organic molecule.
		The enzymes known as racemases provide a striking exception to these generalities; in fact, the role of racemases is to convert D isomers to L isomers and vice versa.

	Allosteric
		An enzyme or other protein is allosteric, if it changes activity or efficiency in response to the binding of an effector molecule.
		In the special case of cooperative allostery, such as characterizes the binding of oxygen molecules to hemoglobin, oxygen is effectively both the substrate and the effector, and the "other site" is just the active site of an adjoining protein subunit.
		For an enzyme to be allosteric it must possess at least two native conformations, the activity or catalytic efficiency of which is different.

	Enzyme catalysis, kinetics, and allostery
		The specificity of an enzyme is therefore a measure of the specificity of an enzyme for competing substrates or of competing enzymes for a single substrate.
		The enzyme is activated by the proteolytic removal of two di-peptides at positions 14-15 and 147-148.
		Its 'enzyme' activity is not the catalysis of a reaction, but to increase the water solubility of oxygen and to facilitate its transport to the muscle cell.

	Allosteric regulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In biochemistry, allosteric regulation is the regulation of an enzyme or protein by binding an effector molecule at the protein's allosteric site (that is, a site other than the protein's active site).
		Both postulate that enzyme subunits exist in one of two conformations, tensed (T) or relaxed (R), and that relaxed subunits bind substrate more readily than those in the tense state.
		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.

	Enzyme Kinetics Chapter 5 - Concerted hypothesis of allostery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		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.
		This doesn't necessarily mean that the T enzyme is incapable of binding the substrate, simply that it doesn't bind it as well as the R form.
		The concerted hypothesis explains the familiar properties of allosteric enzymes in a simple and elegant way but there is a belief that, for some enzymes, it's too simple and that their properties are better explained by the sequential hypothesis.

	Key molecules
		Enzymes are organic molecules that speed up chemical reactions without being used up or altered.
		Most enzymes exist in several varieties, called isoenzymes or isozymes, which function alike but can be distinguished using electrophoresis, a technique that separates proteins based on their speed of migration through an electric field.
		Most enzymes match their substrates with a lock-and-key fit, and are thus highly specific to a particular substrate.

	Allostery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In biochemistry, an enzyme or other protein is allosteric if its activity or efficiency changes in response to the binding of an effector molecule at a so-called allosteric site.
		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.

	CliffsNotes::Biochemistry I: Enzyme Regulation
		Sometimes an enzyme that uses ATP as a substrate to transfer phosphate to another molecule can hydrolyze ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate in the absence of the other substrate.
		Allostery is the change in the kinetic properties of an enzyme caused by binding to another molecule.
		For example, anthranilate synthetase, the first enzyme in the biosynthesis of tryptophan, is inhibited by tryptophan, but not by other amino acids.

		Allostery is the situation when the effector ligand is different from the functional ligand.
		Allostery occurs because the binding of an effector ligand changes the conformation of the protein.
		This enzyme illustrates the important point that an enzyme can be inhibited by the binding of a molecule at a site distant from the active site.

		We further hypothesize that the active signaling is triggered by a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and not ATP depletion.
		In spite of the fact that these cells have different basal metabolic rates and are at different stages of cell growth, the calculated ATP recovery was found to be the same, ~50%, for cells grown at high density and low density.
		We have found that adenosine will increase ATP recovery by an additional ~30%, which is consistent with the hypothesis that passive alterations in enzyme activity and active signaling both play a role in regulating the switch in energy metabolism.

		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 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.
		Thus all enzyme subunits do not need to exist in the same conformation.

	Intro
		Allostery (regulation of enzyme activity by ligands) and co-operativity are site-site interaction effects based on long range signal transmission within proteins.
		Aspartate transcarbamylases (ATCases) are a particularly well suited system to study these mechanisms since they present a wide range of molecular architectures and regulatory responses to ligands.
		This enzyme consists of two trimeric catalytic subunits which are held together by their interactions with three dimeric regulatory subunits which bind the nucleotide effectors.
