The Arf GTPase-activating protein ASAP1 regulates the actin cytoskeleton.

abstract：:Allostery plays a key role in the regulation of the activity and function of many biomolecules. And although many ligands act through allostery, no systematic use is made of it in drug design strategies. Here we describe a procedure for identifying the regions of a protein that can be used to control its activity thro...
