In allostery, a signal from one site in a protein is transmitted to a second site to alter its function. Due to its ubiquity in biology and the potential for its exploitation in drug and protein design, the molecular basis of allosteric communication continues to be the subject of intense research. Although allosterically coupled sites are frequently characterized by disorder, how communication between disordered segments occurs remains obscure. Allosteric activation of <i>Escherichia coli</i> B ...[more]
