-	=== Allosteric regulation ===	+
-		+
-	In a protein, generally an enzyme, an allosteric site is any part of the protein other than the active site.	+
-		+
-	Allosteric regulation of a protein consists in modifying its properties by interacting with an allosteric site.	+
-	One example would be the regulation in the tryptophan (trp) operon,	+
-	a group of genes studied in E. coli that are required for the synthesis of the amino acid tryptophan.	+
-	The expression of these genes can be blocked by the homodimeric protein tryptophan repressor	+
-	(TrpR), by binding the operator of the operon. TrpR repressing function is only active when	+
-	tryptophan is bound to its allosteric sites, i.e. it blocks the production of tryptophan when the	+
-	concentration of tryptophan is high.	+
