Abstract
PI3Kα is a phospholipid kinase that phosphorylates PIP2 to generate PIP3, a scaffold for many important downstream signaling pathways. In this paper, Chakrabarti et al. demonstrate that dynamic allostery can increase the population of PI3Kα states compatible with catalysis, which has implications for the development of new PI3K therapeutics.
