Conservation and divergence in the allosteric architectures of five human protein kinases. Excited to share our new preprint by @carlafolgado.bsky.social @tonibeltran.bsky.social @sangerinstitute.bsky.social @crg.eu @ibv-csic.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Conservation and divergence in the allosteric architectures of five human protein kinases

Protein kinases are central to biological regulation, dysregulated in many diseases, and the targets of a hundred clinically-approved drugs. Structural conservation of kinase active sites makes the de...
