Description

These slides are designed for a class covering the structure and function of protein kinases and is part of the course “Cell Signaling Systems: A Course for Graduate Students.” The lecture begins with a discussion of the genomics and evolutionary relationships among kinases and then proceeds to describe the structure-function relationships of specific kinases, the molecular mechanisms underlying substrate specificity, and selected issues in regulation of kinase activity.
