“…No binding of long polar or charged amino acids (Arg, Asn, Asp, Gln, Glu, His, L-homoserine, and Lys) was detected. Consistent with previous studies (11), Pro, Met, Val, and Ile elicit allosteric responses (Figure 4B). Together, these results support the conclusion that the steric bulk, not aromaticity, of the hydrophobic side chain is most important for determining the magnitude of the allosteric inhibition.…”
