Abstract excerpt
Tyrosine kinases are enzymes playing a critical role in cellular signaling. Mutations causing increased in kinase activity are often associated with cancer and various pathologies. One example in Src tyrosine kinases is offered by the substitution of the highly conserved tryptophan 260 by an alanine (W260A), which has been shown to cause an increase in activity. Here, molecular dynamics simulations based on...
