Abstract excerpt
Missense mutations in EGFR's catalytic domain alter its function, promoting cancer. SEIRA spectroscopy, supported by MD simulations, reveals structural differences in the compactness and hydration of helical motifs between active and inactive EGFR conformations models. These findings provide novel insights into the biophysical mechanisms driving EGFR activation and drug resistance, offering a robust method for...
