| Description | We have established a kinome profile method and applied it to studying cell signalling downstream of Ras proteins. This allows us to understand how cell communication systems are wired under normal conditions and how they might be rewired when key communication systems are mutated. The work is important because it allows us to compare the difference between very closely related protein family members where subtle changes in outputs can have significant differences in normal cell behaviour. |
| Exploitation Route | The method can be used by anybody with an interest in cell communication systems. It allows broad measurement of the activation/expression of a key set of cell signalling proteins. |
