Page s 148Pro183 and Pro188, is accommodated in a specific binding pocket.Comparison with other similar kinase structures shows a 180° rotation of the loop and suggests a possible pro-active dimer formation, by which intermolecular phosphorylation may occur.The well-defined proteinligand interactions further provide additional information for design of potent inhibitors.
