摘要: One of the most powerful ways studying function a protein is to specifically block its activity within cells. Over past decade, dominant-inhibitory proteins have emerged as popular tools with which accomplish this task; these mutated interfere their normal cellular counterparts or that interact them. This approach has been used extensively in elucidation signal-transduction cascades, such those involving Ras-family proteins. Here I discuss power and potential pitfalls using Ras
