Abstract excerpt
GTP-bound forms of Ras proteins (Ras•GTP) assume two interconverting conformations, "inactive" state 1 and "active" state 2. Our previous study on the crystal structure of the state 1 conformation of H-Ras in complex with guanosine 5'-(β, γ-imido)triphosphate (GppNHp) indicated that state 1 is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions formed by Gln61. Since Ras are constitutively activated by...
