Identification of Alternative Allosteric Sites in Glycolytic Enzymes for Potential Use as Species-Specific Drug Targets
Authors:Ayyıldız, Merve; Çeliker, Serkan; Özhelvacı, Fatih; Akten, Ebru Demet
Publisher and Date:(Frontiers Media, 2020)Three allosteric glycolytic enzymes, phosphofructokinase, glyceraldehyde-3 phosphate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase, associated with bacterial, parasitic and human species, were explored to identify potential allosteric sites that would be used as prime targets for species-specific drug design purposes using a newly developed approach which incorporates solvent mapping, elastic network modeling, sequence and structural alignments. The majority of binding sites detected by solvent mapping ...
