Abstract
BAX is a formidable BCL-2 family protein that executes cellular suicide in response to physiologic and pathologic stress. A new article in Nature Chemical Biology (Garner et al.https://doi.org/10.1038/s41589-018-0223-0) reports small molecules that inhibit the conformational activation of BAX, informing a pharmacologic approach to blocking unwanted cell death in human disease.Entities:
