Conformational regulation of the KRAS molecular switch—Structural basis for targeting "undruggable" targets

2026-06-10

KRAS is the most frequently mutated subtype in the RAS family, and its dysfunction drives approximately one-quarter of human cancers. The KRAS protein belongs to the small GTPase family, cycling between the active GTP-bound state and the inactive GDP-bound state, functioning as a molecular switch.
