Single-mode scissor model of dynamic allostery. The rods represent α-helices. The side chains of such α-helices are shown schematically. Springs with spring constants k1 and k–1 are modified on binding to effector and substrate. The free energy for substrate binding is controlled by the amplitude of the thermally excited scissor mode, itself moderated by the presence of the effector.
