Lallosterismo
Lallosterismo is a biological phenomenon where the activity of a protein, typically an enzyme, is regulated by the binding of a molecule at a site other than its active site. This regulatory molecule is called an allosteric effector or modulator. When an allosteric effector binds to the protein, it induces a conformational change in the protein's structure. This change can either increase the protein's activity, known as allosteric activation, or decrease its activity, known as allosteric inhibition.
The allosteric site is distinct from the active site where the substrate binds and the reaction takes
Allosteric regulation is crucial for many biological functions. For example, enzymes involved in metabolic pathways are
