Am. Lawrie et al., PROTEIN-KINASE INHIBITION BY STAUROSPORINE REVEALED IN DETAILS OF THEMOLECULAR INTERACTION WITH CDK2, Nature structural biology, 4(10), 1997, pp. 796-801
Staurosporine exhibits nanomolar IC50 values against a wide range of p
rotein kinases. The structure of a CDK2 strauroporine complex explains
the tight binding of this inhibitor and suggests features to be explo
ited in the design of specific inhibitors of CDKs.
