Deskripsi

Here, the authors use a droplet-based screen for phosphate transfer catalysis, testing variants of the human protein kinase MKK1 for its ability to activate its downstream target ERK2. Data reveal a flexible motif in the MKK1 docking domain that promotes efficient activation of ERK2, and suggest epistasis between the residues within that sequence.
