Abstract excerpt
The neuregulin/ErbB system is a growth factor/receptor cascade that has been proven to be essential in the development of the heart and the sympathetic nervous system. However, the basis of the specificity of ligand-receptor recognition remains to be elucidated. In this study, the structures of NRG-1beta/ErbB3 and NRG-1beta/ErbB4 complexes were modeled based on the available structures of the homologous proteins....
