4 unusual facts about Allosteric regulation


ADX-47273

ADX-47273 is a drug used in scientific research which acts as a positive allosteric modulator selective for the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype Calcimimetic

A calcimimetic is a drug that mimics the action of calcium on tissues, by allosteric activation of the calcium-sensing receptor that is expressed in various human organ tissues.

System size expansion

The corrections have been shown to be particularly considerable for allosteric and non-allosteric enzyme-mediated reactions in intracellular compartments.

Tetramer

The different sub-units may have each their own activity, such as binding biotin in avidin tetramers, or have a common biological property, such as the allosteric binding of oxygen in hemoglobin.


CDPPB

CDPPB is a drug used in scientific research which acts as a positive allosteric modulator selective for the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype
