Allosteric Control of Substrate Specificity of the Escherichia coli ADP-Glucose Pyrophosphorylase
The substrate specificity of enzymes is crucial to control the fate of metabolites to different pathways. However, there is growing evidence that many enzymes can catalyze alternative reactions. This promiscuous behavior has important implications in protein evolution and the acquisition of new func...
