against pathogens or self-DNA by inducing inflammation or apoptosis through a pathway
known as cGAS-cGAMP-STING. STING uses one of its domains, the C-terminal tail (CTT) to
recruit the members of the pathway. However, the structure of this domain has not been
solved experimentally. STING conformation is open and more flexible when inactive. When
STING gets activated by cGAMP, its conformation changes to a closed state covered by 4 …
