allostery

GBK English to Danish Science Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
Definition from Biochemical Society:
Property of some proteins by which spatially separate functional sites in the molecule can communicate with each other via movements transmitted through the structure.
Example sentences:
Oligomerization enables cooperativity between multiple binding sites, a property referred to as allostery or allosteric regulation of enzymes (yet again, single polypeptide, multi-domain proteins show allosteric behavior). (whatislife.com)
The sequential model of allostery holds that subunits are not connected in such a way that a conformational change in one induces a similar change in the others. Thus all enzyme subunits need not exist in the same conformation. (bio-medicine.org)
It also follows that allostery is common and that homologous proteins can have different allosteric mechanisms. (nature.com)

allosteri

Se "allosterisk regulering" i Medicinsk Ordbog, Gyldendal: Indvirkning på f.eks. et enzyms el. et andet proteins aktivitet af en aktivator el. hæmmer der bindes til enzymet på et andet bindingssted end det aktive center
Definition from Answers.com:
Allosteri er et enzyms egenskab til at skifte reversibelt mellem en aktiv og en inaktiv konfiguration. <br />Se også &quot;allosterisk regulering&quot;.
Example sentences:
- forklare, hvorledes enzymers aktiviteter reguleres, herunder allosteri og effekten af protoner (Det Naturvidenskabelige Fakultet, SDU)
Allosteri: Ændring af affinitet for substrat ved binding af ligand et andet sted end aktive site. Kan være substrat, inhibitor, aktivator. (Københavns Universitet)
Note from asker:
Da hier verschiedene Finanzinstrumente aufgezählt werden, würde ich darauf tippen, dass hier Positionen in mit Sicherheiten hinterlegte Wertpapiere (eben CBO oder CDO) gemeint sind. "Credit" kann je nach Kontext auch "Unternehmensanleihe" oder ganz allgemein "Schuldtitel" heißen, "collateralized" bezieht sich auf "collateral" = Sicherheiten.
Vielen Dank!
