Recent advances in the structural biology of tyrosine kinases.

Rygiel KA., Elkins JM.

The past few years have seen exciting discoveries in the area of tyrosine kinase structural biology including the first high resolution models of full-length receptor tyrosine kinases and new mechanistic insights into the structural mechanisms of receptor tyrosine kinase activation. Despite being a mature area of research, the application of new technologies continues to advance our understanding. In this article we highlight a selection of recent studies that illustrate the current areas of research interest, focussing in particular on the exciting progress made possible by cryo-electron-microscopy. These new discoveries may herald a wave of new design ideas for therapeutics acting through novel mechanisms.
