释义 | allosteryal·lo·ster·icA0215900 (ăl′ə-stĕr′ĭk)allostery(əˈlɒstərɪ)allosteryal·lo·ster·ism, allostery (ă-los'ter-izm, -los'ter-ē),allosteryA phenomenon in which a ligand binds to a specific receptor site on a protein, changing its shape, and altering the affinity for a ligand at a second site (e.g., either a receptor or a binding site); the ability of an effector molecule (ligand) to change the conformation and activity of a protein.In allostery, the catalytic function of an enzyme may be modified by interaction with small molecules, not only at the active site but also at a spatially distinct (allosteric) site of different specificity. Allostery refers to an interaction of two or more functional sites on a protein, or two or more proteins, resulting in altered affinity of ligand binding; it depends on dynamic interaction with a substrate or other molecule—e.g., heme-heme interaction. al·lo·ster·ism, allostery (al'ō-ster'izm, al'ō-ster'ē)Compare: hysteresis |
