Abstract

Identification of a selective inhibitor for a particular protein kinase without inhibition of other kinases is critical for use as a biological tool or drug. However, this is very difficult because there are hundreds of homologous kinases and their kinase domains including the ATP binding pocket have a common folding pattern. To address this issue, we applied the following structure-based approach for designing selective Cdk4 inhibitors:(1) ...
