An illustration shows the structure of an inhibitor bound to the active site of membrane-associated tyrosine- and threonine-specific cdc2-inhibitory kinase. An inhibitor bound to the active site of ...

Researchers provide essential insights on the molecular activation of the MAP kinase p38?, the final switch triggering the inflammatory response. Inflammation is a cellular coping mechanism when ...

A publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B discusses the structure-based development of potent and selective type-II kinase inhibitors of RIPK1. Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein ...

In the wee hours of an October morning, David Baker, a protein biologist at the University of Washington (UW), received the most-awaited phone call in a scientist’s career. Halfway around the world, ...

On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

Protein kinases, including p38α, have therefore been heavily studied. The first protein kinase structure was solved 30 years ago – a landmark in the field – and many more structures have followed, ...
