Resumen

Desarrollamos marcos proteico-metálico-orgánicos (MOF de proteínas) con propiedades térmicas ajustables. Un marco exhibe una transición de fase significativa y reversible cerca de la temperatura ambiente, mostrando el potencial del diseño modular.

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

Cooperative allosteric transitions can occur in multimeric proteins, where each subunit of the protein has its own ligand-binding site. When a ligand binds to any of these subunits, it triggers a conformational change that affects the binding sites in the other subunits; this can change the affinity of the other sites for their respective ligands. The ability of the protein to change the shape of its binding site is attributed to the presence of a mix of flexible and stable segments in the...
