Research Abstract |
ERK MAP kinase is essential for cell proliferation, differentiation and tumorigenetsis. We analyzed molecular mechanisms of ERK phosphorylation by using imaging and computer simulation. Approximately 30 kinetic parameters were measured by experiments. Based on these empirical parameters, we built a simulation model, and found that ERK was processively, but not distributively, phosphorylated by MEK.
