The membrane protein complex between the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase (SERCA) and phospholamban (PLN) controls Ca 2+ transport in cardiomyocytes, thereby modulating cardiac contractility.
The shikimate pathway is fundamental for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids—tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine—in plants, bacteria and fungi. This pathway, which is absent in mammals, has ...
Enzymes in multistep metabolic pathways utilize an array of regulatory mechanisms to maintain a delicate homeostasis [K. Magnuson, S. Jackowski, C. O. Rock, J. E. Cronan, Jr, Microbiol. Rev. 57, ...
Sir2, an enzyme belonging to sirtuins, has been effectively involved in the deacetylation of proteins. A tandem allosteric effect of reactant and product is responsible for the efficient deacetylation ...

Moving illustrating allosteric network (blue dots are essential residues for allosteric network) for regulation. The enzyme interconverts between the inactive and active structure.
The photosynthetic systems of green plants have developed a dual function of efficient light collection under low light intensity and photoprotection under intense sunshine to prevent the oxidative ...
Scientists have, for the first time, observed one of the natural mechanisms underlying the regulation of the levels of growth inhibiting hormone in plants. This mechanism had been hitherto seen in ...
