6PNX - PubMed Abstract: 
A long-standing mystery shrouds the mechanism by which catalytically repressed receptor tyrosine kinase domains accomplish transphosphorylation of activation loop (A-loop) tyrosines. Here we show that this reaction proceeds via an asymmetric complex that is thermodynamically disadvantaged because of an electrostatic repulsion between enzyme and substrate kinases ...
