Abstract excerpt
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), which catalyzes protein phosphorylation reactions by transferring the γ-phosphoryl group from an ATP molecule to the hydroxyl group of tyrosine residues in protein substrates. EGFR is an important drug target in the treatment of cancers and a better understanding of the receptor function is critical to discern cancer mechanisms. We...
