Abstract excerpt
Approximately 3.4 million patients worldwide are diagnosed each year with cancers that have pathogenic mutations in one of three RAS proto-oncogenes (KRAS, NRAS and HRAS)1,2. These mutations impair the GTPase activity of RAS, leading to activation of downstream signalling and proliferation3-6. Long-standing efforts to restore the hydrolase activity of RAS mutants have been unsuccessful, extinguishing any...
