Evidence for a New Theory of Allostery Andrew Michaelson Northeastern University Professor Mary Jo Ondrechen
Why Do We Want to Do This? • New Drugs • Design of new sites • Design of new effectors • (Understanding allosteric effects may be lead us to design allosteric sites and effectors for non-allosteric enzymes)
Current Theory of Allostery • Concerted Model • Sequential Model
Uracil Phosphribosyltransferase • What does it do? • Why is this important?
Methods • THEMATICS • PropKa • Motif
Acknowledgments • I would like to thank Professor Ondrechen • I would like to thank the Ondrechen Group. • I would like to thank all the other people working on the Allostery project as well.
