Cooperative binding effects pervade biology. Only a few basic principles are at play, but in different biological contexts cooperativity appears in distinct guises to achieve different ends.

The study reveals that when the rotational motion of water molecules is activated, the distances between the molecules adjust, resulting in increased cooperativity and facilitating proton tunneling.

Considering common definitions and mechanisms of cooperative behavior may lead to new insights into chemical and biological function. Cooperativity is well known as the energetic basis for a ...

In a phenomenon they call "ribosome cooperativity," the team discovered that ribosomes can support one another when ...
