OverviewOverview

The crystal structure of the human cyclinA-cyclin-dependent kinase2, (CDK2)-ATP complex has been determined at 2.3 A resolution. CyclinA binds, to one side of CDK2's catalytic cleft, inducing large conformational, changes in its PSTAIRE helix and T-loop. These changes activate the kinase, by realigning active site residues and relieving the steric blockade at, the entrance of the catalytic cleft.
