Term
Allosteric Protein
Definition
*binding of one ligand at one site affects binding at another (coop binding)
*need interactions amoung subunits of oligomeric proteins
-allows ability of subunits to interact (depend on e.other)
*2 Models of Allosterism: symmetry, sequential
*(EX): Hb
Term
Symmetry Model of Allosterism
Definition
*if ligand binding to R (oxy) is tighter than T (deoxy) = T-> R shift promoted
-shift increases affinity of unliganded subunits for ligand
-change in states = T ->R = inc affinity
*on/off (T or R)

R: bind tight
T: bind weak
Term
Rules of Symmetry Model
Definition
1) AN ALLOSTERIC PROT IS AN OLIGOMER OF SYMETRICALLY RELATED SUBUNITS
-for valid, need to have oligomer w/ subunits

2) E. OLIGOMER CAN EXIST IN 2 CONFORMATIONAL CHANGES (T/R IN EQUIL)
-subunits need to be related
3) LIGAN CAN BIND TO A SUBUNIT IN EITHER CONFORMATION (WHICH DISPLAY DIFF AFFINITIES)
-allows back and forth
-oligomer has states (both need to bind to ligand)
-state have diff affinities

4) MOLECULAR SYMM OF PROTE IS CONSERVED DURING CONFORMATIONAL CHANGE
-symmetry stays in tact
Term
Problems w/ Symmetry Model
Definition
