Allosteric regulation is a fundamental mechanism in enzyme function, enabling dynamic modulation of activity through ligand binding at sites distal to the active site. Allosteric modulators have gained significant attention due to their unique advantages, including enhanced specificity, reduced off-target effects, and the potential for synergistic interaction with orthosteric agents. However, the inherent complexity of allosteric mechanisms has posed challenges to the systematic discovery and design of allosteric modulators. This review discusses recent advancements in computational methodologies for identifying and characterizing allosteric sites in enzymes, emphasizing techniques such as molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, enhanced sampling methods, normal mode analysis (NMA), evolutionary conservation analysis, and machine learning (ML) approaches. Advanced tools like PASSer, AlloReverse, and AlphaFold have further enhanced the understanding of allosteric mechanisms and facilitated the design of selective allosteric modulators. Case studies on enzymes such as Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) and MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK) demonstrate the practical applications of these approaches in drug discovery. By integrating computational predictions with experimental validation, this review highlights the transformative potential of computational strategies in advancing allosteric drug discovery, offering innovative opportunities to regulate enzyme activity for therapeutic benefits.
