abstract = {Allosteric modulation is involved in a plethora of diverse
protein functions, which are fundamental for cells’ life.
This phenomenon can be thought as communication between two
topographically distinct site of a protein structure. How
this communication occurs is still matter of debate. Many
different descriptions have been presented so far. Here we
consider a specific case where any significant
conformational change is involved upon allosteric modulator
binding and the phenomenon is depicted as a vibrational
energy diffusion process between distant protein regions. We
applied this model, by employing computational tools, to the
human muscarinic receptor M2, a transmembrane protein
G-protein coupled receptor known to undergo allosteric
modulation whose recently X-ray structure has been recently
resolved both with and without the presence of a particular
allosteric modulator. Our calculations, performed on these
two receptor structures, suggest that for this case the
allosteric modulator modifies the energy current between
functionally relevant regions of the protein; this allows to
identify the main residues responsible for this modulation.
These results contribute to shed light on the molecular
basis of allosteric modulation and may help design new
allosteric ligands.},
