Abstract excerpt
The focal adhesion target (FAT) domain of focal adhesion kinase has a four-helix bundle structure. Based on a hydrogen exchange-constrained computer simulation study and some indirect experimental results, it has been suggested that a partially unfolded state of the FAT domain with the N-terminal helix unfolded plays an important role in its biological function. Here, using a native-state hydrogen exchange...
