{wiki=Cooperativity}
Cooperativity refers to a phenomenon commonly observed in biochemistry and molecular biology, especially in the context of enzymatic reactions and the binding of ligands to macromolecules such as proteins. It describes how the binding of a ligand to one site on a protein influences the binding of additional ligands to other sites on the same protein or to other identical proteins.
