Hill coefficients of dietary polyphenolic enzyme inhibitiors: can beneficial health effects of dietary polyphenols be explained by allosteric enzyme denaturing?
Inspired by a recent article by Prinz, suggesting that Hill coefficients, obtained from four parameter logistic fits to dose-response curves, represent a parameter allowing distinction between a general allosteric denaturing process and real single site enzyme inhibition, Hill coefficients of a number of selected dietary polyphenol enzyme inhibitions were compiled from the available literature....
متن کاملAllosteric mechanisms of signal transduction.
Forty years ago, a simple model of allosteric mechanisms (indirect interactions between distinct sites), used initially to explain feedback-inhibited enzymes, was presented by Monod, Wyman, and Changeux. We review the MWC theory and its applications for the understanding of signal transduction in biology, and also identify remaining issues that deserve theoretical and experimental substantiation.
متن کاملOpposite allosteric mechanisms in TetR and CAP.
Regulation of the DNA binding affinity of an oligomeric protein can be considered to consist of an intrinsic component, in which the affinity of an individual DNA-binding domain is modulated in response to effector binding, and an extrinsic component, in which the relative position of the protein's two DNA-binding domains are altered so that they can or cannot contact both half-site operators s...
متن کاملOn allosteric mechanisms and acetylcholine receptors.
The original observation of Meyer Jackson ~ that nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) channels may open spontaneously with the same intrinsic conductance and ion selectivity as the acetylcholine-gated channels provides strong support in favour of the Monod-Wyman-Changeux theory 2. It illustrates the interconversion of the protein between discrete conformations before ligand binding. In effe...
متن کاملSpectral Curves of Operators with Elliptic Coefficients⋆
The classical theory of reduction, initiated by Weierstrass, has found modern applications to the fields of Integrable Systems and Number Theory, to name but two. In this short note we only address specific cases, providing minimal historical references, listing the steps that we devised, and exhibiting some new explicit formulas. A full-length discussion of original motivation, theoretical adv...
