Abstract excerpt
The binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to its receptor leads to receptor dimerization, which activates the intracellular kinase domain. Homology models of the inactive and active forms of the EGF-receptor kinase domains have been derived, and these models suggest that the active form can be stabilized by the interaction of helix C and the surrounding area in one receptor monomer with one of two possible...
