KRAS is vulnerable to reversible switch-II pocket engagement in cells

J. D. Vasta, D. M. Peacock, Q. Zheng, J. A. Walker, Z. Zhang, C. A. Zimprich, M. R. Thomas, M. T. Beck, B. F. Binkowski, C. R. Corona, M. B. Robers, K. M. Shokat

The paper investigates the accessibility of the switch-II pocket in various KRAS mutants using NMR and a cellular engagement assay, showing it is accessible with non-covalent ligands regardless of GDP state.
