Thesis
The energetics of nucleotide binding to RAS proteins
- Abstract:
-
Ras proteins are a special class of proteins that mediate cell growth signals. Their importance lies in the fact that they are products of a proto-oncogene. This means that under certain conditions the gene that determines its structure is altered and a mutant protein results that is involved in the transformation of normal cells to cancer cells.
The actual function by which the protein acts in the signal pathway is not known. However it is known that they act as a switch,...
