Reciprocal allosteric modulation of carbon monoxide and warfarin binding to ferrous human serum heme-albumin.

Human serum albumin (HSA), the most abundant protein in human plasma, could be considered as a prototypic monomeric allosteric protein, since the ligand-dependent conformational adaptability of HSA spreads beyond the immediate proximity of the binding site(s). As a matter of fact, HSA is a major tra...
