Enzymes from different sources differ in their regulatory mechanisms and in their natural substrates. However, all known phosphorylases share catalytic and structural properties. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed The crystal structure of R-state glycogen phosphorylase b has been determined at 2.9 A resolution. A comparison of T-state and R-state structures of the enzyme explains its cooperative behaviour on ligand binding and the allosteric regulation of its activity. Communication between catalytic sites of the dimer is provided by a change in packing geometry of two helices linking each site with the subunit interface. Activation by AMP or by phosphorylation results in a quaternary conformational change that switches these two helices into the R-state conformation.
