Evidence for a nucleotide binding site on the isolated beta subunit from Escherichia coli F1-ATPase. Interaction between nucleotide and aurovertin D binding sites.

abstract：:The insulin hexamer is an allosteric protein which displays positive and negative cooperativity and half-site reactivity that is modulated by strong homotropic and heterotropic ligand binding interactions at two different loci. These loci consist of phenolic pockets situated on the dimer-dimer interfaces of T-R and R-...
