Study Notes

Conformational Flexibility and Multiple Modes of Action

Conformational flexibility refers to the ability of a protein or molecule to adopt different conformations or shapes, allowing it to interact with various targets or ligands
This flexibility enables proteins to exhibit multiple modes of action, meaning they can participate in different biological processes or binding events
The conformational flexibility of a protein can be influenced by various factors, such as temperature, pH, and the presence of binding partners or ligands
The ability of a protein to adopt multiple conformations can also allow it to modulate its activity, specificity, or affinity for different targets or ligands
