Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor
This is an artificial depiction of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor, one of the most frequently mutated proteins in cancer, undergoing dimerization. The crystal structures that were used to create this model are being studied by researchers to help develop new, cutting edge cancer therapies. This hypothetical structure of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor takes the shape of a breast cancer awareness ribbon, reminding us of the real-world impact of this research.
