Enzyme regulation by filamentation and other alternate and emerging mechanisms
Enzyme activity can be regulated through multiple mechanisms including localization and active-site orientation or accessibility. This virtual event focuses mainly on filamentation, a process by which enzymes reversibly self-assemble into linear structures. It also includes talks focused on other types of protein localization as well as alternative splicing to produce proteins with differing functions.
The talks in this virtual event were originally programmed to take place as an in-person Spotlight Session at the 2020 ASBMB Annual Meeting.
