... toy. Amino acids positioned on the surface of the coils bind to amino acids on anti-death molecules such as BCL-2 and inhibit their activity. BCL-2, a key part of the apopotosis mechanism, was discovered by Korsmeyer. Building on other recent work, Walensky sought to remove the alpha-helical BH3 subunit f...
