En route to new inhibitors : The binding of Zn 2+  cyclen to the human Ras protein stabilizes a protein conformation that has a weak affinity for effectors. Consequently this complex is a lead structure for inhibition studies on the Ras–effector interaction. The picture shows the NMR structure of Ras⋅Mg 2+ ⋅GppNHp complexed to Zn 2+  cyclen.
