Abstract excerpt
Identification of protein mutations that drive cancer is a major challenge. A primary reason is that driver mutations are principally identified by their high frequency even though they can also be rare. Driver mutations can locate at functional (binding or active) sites. We dub these orthosteric drivers. However, often they are allosteric drivers. Identification is particularly formidable for rare allosteric...
