Probing conformational dynamics to understand kinase inhibition

Elife. 2023 Oct 18:12:e92753. doi: 10.7554/eLife.92753.

Abstract

Why do some inhibitors select the on-state in ERK2, a kinase that is involved in many signaling pathways in cells, whereas others bind to more than one conformation?

Keywords: ERK2; MAP kinase; NMR; allosteric regulation; biochemistry; chemical biology; hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry; inhibitor; none.
