Abstract excerpt
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a membrane-anchored tyrosine kinase that is able to selectively respond to multiple extracellular stimuli. Previous studies have indicated that the modularity of this system may be caused by ligand-induced differences in the stability of the receptor dimer. However, this hypothesis has not been explored using single-mutant ligands thus far. Herein, we developed a new...
