Abstract:Despite intensive effort, no effective pharmacological inhibitors of the Ras oncoprotein have been reached the clinic given the impression that Ras proteins are undruggable. However, progresses have been made in several directions to manipulate Ras.In this manuscript, we describe a novel and promising approach for specifically targeting the Ras/Raf interaction. We have identified the amino acid sequence involved in the binding of Ras to Raf. The amino acids of the binding site were coupled to an optimized pene… Show more
