Completing the family portrait of the anti‐apoptotic Bcl‐2 proteins: Crystal structure of human Bfl‐1 in complex with Bim
21 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Evasion of apoptosis is recognized as a characteristic of malignant growth. Anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) family members have therefore emerged as potential therapeutic targets due to their critical role in proliferating cancer cells.
