title: Bound to activate: conformational consequences of cyclin binding to CDK2.
abstract: The cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are among the most highly regulated enzymes in the protein-kinase family. The crystal structures of cyclin A and the CDK2-cyclin A complex spectacularly reveal the atomic basis for regulation of these enzymes and provide a template for understanding the function and regulation of other members of the CDK family.
