WHAT DOES ALLOSTERY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Allosteric regulation

In biochemistry, allosteric regulation is the regulation of an enzyme or other protein by binding an effector molecule at the protein's allosteric site. Allosteric sites allow effectors to bind to the protein, often resulting in a conformational change or other change in the effectiveness of the enzyme. Effectors that enhance the protein's activity are referred to as allosteric activators, whereas those that decrease the protein's activity are called allosteric inhibitors. The term allostery comes from the Greek allos, "other", and stereos, "solid ", in reference to the fact that the regulatory site of an allosteric protein is physically distinct from its active site. Allosteric regulations are a natural example of control loops, such as feedback from downstream products or feedforward from upstream substrates. Long-range allostery is especially important in cell signaling.

Definition of allostery in the English dictionary

The definition of allostery in the dictionary is the condition of a protein in which the structure and activity of the enzyme are modified by the binding of a metabolic molecule at a site other than the chemically active one.
