Ara h 2 and FcϵRIα binding elicit state-dependent allostery in IgE

Background: Peanuts are among the most prevalent food allergens responsible for anaphylaxis, particularly in children. Allergic responses may be mitigated by disrupting molecular interactions between immunoglobulin-E (IgE) and its binding partners: peanut allergen (Ara h 2) and IgE receptors (Fc{epsilon}RI). However, the structural dynamics of IgE upon engaging these factors are not yet fully…
