    Allosteric regulation of kinase activity in living cells

    Shivani Sujay Godbole, Nikolay V Dokholyan
    Protein kinase dysregulation, implicated in various diseases via cell signaling pathways, can be therapeutically and experimentally managed through allosteric modulation, facilitated by a dynamic network of interactions, with computational techniques enabling precise control in live systems.
