GTPase Ras
Status: Active

Summary

Name: GTPase Ras
Status: Active
Created: 08/18/2010
Points: 100
Difficulty: Advanced
Description: The conformational change occurring in the small GTPase Ras is extremely important for the molecular basis of many cancers. The GTP-bound conformation of this protein should be in an ON state, signaling cell growth. Can you help it find this native fold?

How do we know it's in the On State?

Exactly what the subject says.

"The GTP-bound conformation of this protein should be in an ON state"

Is the shape that it's already in considered the On State?
