Allosterism is one of nature’s principal methods for regulating protein function. Allosterism utilizes ligand binding at one site to regulate the function of the protein by modulating the structure and dynamics of a distant binding site. In this review, we first survey solution NMR techniques and how they may be applied to the study of allostery. Subsequently, we describe several examples of application of NMR to protein allostery and highlight the unique insight provided by this experimental technique. Highlights
? Solution NMR provides unique structural and dynamical detail of allosteric proteins. ? Relaxation dispersion experiments provide evidence for lowly populated conformers. ? NMR can provide insight into kinetics and thermodynamics of allostery.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences (2012). Pages: 1-6. Charalampos G Kalodimos et al.
Allostery is a fundamental process by which distant sites within a protein system sense each other. Allosteric regulation is such an efficient mechanism that it is used to control protein activity in most biological processes, including signal transduction, metabolism, catalysis, and gene regulation. Over recent years, our view and understanding of the fundamental principles underlying allostery...

Allostery, the process by which distant sites within a protein system are energetically coupled, is an efficient and ubiquitous mechanism for activity regulation. A purely mechanical view of allostery invoking only structural changes has developed over the decades as the classical view of the phenomenon. However, a fast growing list of examples illustrate the intimate link...
