SH2 Domain Binding

SH2 Domain Binding

A major piece of ongoing work in the lab is to develop methods that will allow us to identify what phosphotyrosines will be recognized by a binding domain. Specifically, we hope to push this area of research into arenas that allow us to predict the relative competition between domains for phosphotyrosine sequences and phosphotyrosine sequences for domains. This information will enable us to begin to predict the consequence of context differences between cells in response to the same extracellular cue. We will feel we have succeeded when these predictions can be used to explain complex network phenomena.
