Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Site A132Arg mutations potentially impair the affinity of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) for its substrate isocitrate (ICT), consequently reducing the production of α-ketoglutarate and leading to tumor growth through the induction of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway. However, given that the roles of other active sites in IDH1 substrate binding remain unclear, we aimed to investigate...
