Abstract excerpt
The existence of an in-frame deletion mutant correlates with the sensitivity of lung cancers to EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor)-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We reported previously that the in-frame 15-bp deletional mutation (delE746-A750 type deletion) was constitutively active in cells. Kinetic parameters are important for characterizing an enzyme; however, it remains unclear whether the kinetic...
