A ball and stick model of a protein with allosteric sites shown as red spheres
Kortemme Lab

Research from QBI revealed a variety of allosteric sites (red spheres) on the protein Gsp1 that influence its behavior at its active site (white spheres) from afar. Allosteric maps like this highlight potential druggable sites and inform understanding of mutations found in diseases like cancer.
