Abstract excerpt
KRAS switch loop movements play a crucial role in regulating RAS signaling, and alteration of these sensitive dynamics is a principal mechanism through which disease-associated RAS mutations lead to aberrant RAS activation. Prior studies suggest that despite a high degree of sequence similarity, the switches in KRAS are more dynamic than those in HRAS. We determined X-ray crystal structures of the rare...
