Allostery is the phenomenon that functional site on protein is regulated by a topologically distinct allosteric site. Designing drugs binding this site could achieve better safety and selectivity. However, lack of global allosteric network throughout macromolecules is prohibiting our way forward.
AlloReverse aims to provide multi-scale information of allosteric regulation based on "reversed allosteric communication" theory, which indicates that allosteric sites are also regulated by orthosteric site. The reversed nature of the theory has provided possibilities for synchronous analysis of different allosteric regulations. AlloReverse could predict allosteric residues, allosteric sites, regulation pathways and correlation among allosteric sites. Especially, our server focused on hierarchical relationship among different regulations, and could offer a whole map of allostery on protein. Therefore, AlloReverse is believed to aid target identification, drug design and biological mechanism understanding.
