Thermodynamic and NMR Assessment of Ligand Cooperativity and Intersubunit Communication in Symmetric Dimers: Application to Thymidylate Synthase

Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a homodimeric enzyme with evidence for negative regulation of one protomer while the other protomer acts on substrate, so called half-the-sites reactivity. The mechanisms by which multisubunit allosteric proteins communicate between protomers is not well understood, and...
