Allosteric modulation
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) is allosterically activated upon binding to single-stranded DNA breaks. Pro-retention and pro-release PARP inhibitors differentially harness PARP-1 allostery to induce PARP-1 trapping or release from DNA, which can be applied in the clinic depending on whether cytotoxicity or cytoprotection is desirable.
