Abstract excerpt
The receptor tyrosine kinase, KIT, displays activating mutations in the kinase domain, which are associated with various cancers. We have used homology modelling based on the crystal structures of the insulin receptor kinase in active and inactive conformations to predict the corresponding structures of the KIT kinase domain. We have prepared four KIT models, one each for the active and inactive conformations of...
