title: Metal ion induced allosteric transition in the catalytic activity of an artificial phosphodiesterase.
abstract: An artificial phosphodiesterase (1) bearing two kinds of metal binding sites, a catalytic site and a regulatory bipyridine site showed a unique allosteric transition in the catalytic activity against the metal concentration.
