  • Publication number: 20040248196
    Abstract: This invention relates to the structure of members of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family and to receptor/ligand interactions. In particular, it relates to the field of using the EGF receptor family structure to select and screen for compounds that inhibit the formation of active receptor dimers.
