KRAS Protein

Caption

KRAS protein is known to be involved in heart and autoimmune diseases as well as many cancers of the blood, skin, lung, and colon. The discovery made by the Computational Systems Biology Group at LSU can lead to the repurposing of known FDA-approved drugs to treat rare conditions also known as "orphan diseases" that are currently untreated.
