Abstract excerpt
Bax is a pro-apoptotic member of the widely studied Bcl-2 family of apoptotic proteins. Its function is regulated by anti-apoptotic members of the same family. Bcl-x(L) is one such member, which plays a key role in inhibiting the function of Bax. Recent experimental evidences suggest that intra-molecular conformational changes in the all-helical fold of Bax are necessary for it to be amenable to regulation by...
