Ras conformational switching: simulating nucleotide-dependent conformational transitions with accelerated molecular dynamics.

Ras mediates signaling pathways controlling cell proliferation and development by cycling between GTP- and GDP-bound active and inactive conformational states. Understanding the complete reaction path of this conformational change and its intermediary structures is critical to understanding Ras sign...
