ABSTRACT:
A detailed three-dimensional structure for the complex formed between Ras and the Son of sevenless (Sos) protein is provided. Crystals of this complex are also included in the invention. The present invention farther provides procedures for identifying agents that can inhibit tumor proliferation through the use of rational drug design predicated on the crystals and crystallographic data disclosed.
