Abstract excerpt
The RGS proteins act as GTPase activating proteins and therefore regulate the lifespan of the active G alpha-GTP by accelerating the GTP hydrolysis. Modulatory residues in the RGS protein are present at the periphery of the RGS domain-G protein interface which is essential to fine-tune the G protein recognition and interaction. The docking energies of the mutant complex and the native complex were compared to see...
