The yin–yang of kinase activation and unfolding explains the peculiarity of Val600 in the activation segment of BRAF

Many driver mutations in cancer are specific in that they occur at significantly higher rates than – presumably – functionally alternative mutations. For example, V600E in the BRAF hydrophobic activation segment (AS) pocket accounts for >95% of all kinase mutations. While many hypotheses trie...
