Abstract excerpt
A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) investigation of a fragment of the nonreceptor Tec family tyrosine kinase Btk has revealed an intricate set of coupled monomer-dimer equilibria. The Btk fragment studied contains two consecutive proline-rich motifs followed by a single Src homology 3 (SH3) domain. We provide evidence for an asymmetric homodimer in which the amino-terminal proline sequence of one monomer contacts...
