Article Title: Binding reactions: epigenetic switches, signal transduction and cancer
Abstract: Simple binding interactions lie at the heart of disparate biological functions. Multiple negative and positive 'add-ons', often with small individual effects, make elementary systems that work, work better. Cancer illustrates various of these fundamental processes gone awry. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
