摘要: The cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinase BRAF and receptor tyrosine kinases of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGFR) family are frequently activated in cancer by mutations an equivalent amino acid. Structural studies have provided important insights into why these very different share similar oncogenic hot spots PDGFR juxtamembrane region is also a frequent target. This research has implications for other that mutated human tumours treatment using inhibitors.
