Abstract excerpt
Molecular modeling provides a mechanistic hypothesis at the molecular level for the constitutive activation recently observed and reported for tyrosine protein kinases Flt-3 and c-Kit. Three-dimensional homology models for the active and inactive forms of these two kinases were made. Comparison of these models at the molecular level reveals that mutations of specific residues located in the activation loop (D835X...
