An Alternative Allosteric Model The Sequential Allosteric Model of Koshland, Nemethy, and Filmer... 

The second extreme case, suggested by Koshland, Nemethy, and Filmer (KNF) (Koshland et al., 1966), is also known as the sequential model. The mathematical conditions required to obtain this limiting case are quite severe. First, it is assumed that, in the absence of a ligand, one of the conformations is dominant, say the LL form. In addition, it is assumed that a ligand binding to any subunit will change the conformation of that subunit into the H form. These assumptions lead to the consideration of only the four diagonal states of Fig. 4.18, for which the PF is... 

The MWC model is presently known as the concerted model, since the entire protein changes its conformation concertedly. The induced-fit model was later developed by Koshland, Nemethy, and Filmer (KNF) and is presently known as the... 

The sequential model of Koshland, Nemethy and Filmer (Koshland et al., 1966). The sequential model proposes that the conformational stability of each subunit is determined by the conformations of the subunits with which it is in contact. The model is based on three postulates ... 

The sequential hypothesis (Koshland, Nemethy and Filmer) accepts the possibility that mixed enzymes, containing both types may occur. Once again an equilibrium would occur in solution in which the complete R and T structures simply represent the extremes (Figure 6.34). 

In 1966, Koshland, Nemethy, and Filmer described several models for oligomeric proteins or enzymes with different permissible site-site interactions (Koshland et al, 1966). The KNF models avoid the assumption of symmetry of the MWC model, but use another simplifying features. They assume that the progress fromT to the ligand-bound R state is a sequential process. The conformation of each subunit changes in turn as it binds the ligand, and there is no dramatic switch from... 

Two main models, the concerted (or symmetry) model of Monod, Wyman and Changeux (MWC) and the sequential model of Koshland, Nemethy and Filmer (KNF), form the basis of approaches to explain the sigmoidal relationship between and [S] (Figure 6.11) in molecular terms. Although...

A model used to explain cooperativity on the basis of ligand-induced changes in conformation that may or may not alter the subunit-subunit interfaces of oligomeric enzymes and receptors. This model has also been referred to as the Adair-Koshland-Nemethy-Filmer model (AKNF model), the induced-fit model, and the sequential model. 

It should also be noted that the common models of allosterism (e.g., the Monod-Wyman-Changeux model and the Koshland-Nemethy-Filmer model) assume rapid equilibrium binding. 

There are essentially two types of control mechanisms for biochemical switching allosteric cooperative transition and reversible chemical modification. Allosteric cooperativity, which was discussed in Chapter 4, was discovered in 1965 by Jacques Monod, Jefferies Wyman, and Jean-Picrrc Changeux [143], and independently by Daniel Koshland, George Nemethy and David Filmer [116]. The molecular basis of this phenomenon, which is well understood in terms of three-dimensional protein crystal structures and protein-ligand interaction, is covered in every biochemistry textbook [147] as well as special treatises [215],... 

Koshland-Nemethy-Filmer/Dalziel-Engel The Sequential Model. A second model to describe cooperativity within systems was proposed independently by both the Koshland and Dalziel groups. Unlike the concerted model, the sequential model does not constrain the oligomer to either the T or R state and therefore no preequilibrium of states is present. The sequential model, also known as the induced-fit model, hypothesizes that when a ligand binds, a conformational change oc-...
