Abstract excerpt
Interest in the guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) reaction of Ras as a molecular drug target stems from the observation that, in a large number of human tumors, Ras is characteristically mutated at codons 12 or 61, more rarely 13. Impaired GTPase activity, even in the presence of GTPase activating proteins, has been found to be the biochemical reason behind the oncogenicity of most Gly12/Gln61 mutations, thus...
