Lm. Toledo et Nb. Lydon, STRUCTURES OF STAUROSPORINE BOUND TO CDK2 AND CAPK - NEW TOOLS FOR STRUCTURE-BASED DESIGN OF PROTEIN-KINASE INHIBITORS, Structure, 5(12), 1997, pp. 1551-1556
Protein kinases are involved in a wide variety of signal transduction
processes; their deregulation has been implicated in a number of human
diseases, including cancer and disorders of the immune system. The re
cently determined structures of two protein kinases, cAPK and CDK2, in
complex with an inhibitor, staurosporine, provide a detailed account
of inhibitor-kinase interactions and inhibitor selectivity.
