In a manner relating to or functioning through allosteric regulation; through changes at sites other than the main active site.
From 'allosteric' + '-ally' (adverbial suffix). Formed to describe the manner or mechanism of allosteric action in biochemical processes.
When scientists say a drug works 'allosterically,' they mean it doesn't compete directly with natural molecules for the main binding site—it sneaks in the back door and tweaks the protein's shape, which is why some medications can have fewer side effects.
