More than two decades of effort went into a project that has now revealed the structure of a crucial signaling molecule, opening the door to new and better drugs for some cancers. For more than 20 ...
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 ...
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) protein, a member of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-related protein kinase (PIKK) family, has a central role in two growth-regulatory pathways that have ...
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have characterized a hidden intermediate state at the center of Src kinase function. This hidden state allows the kinase to repeatedly modify its ...
A new study reveals that the twin enzymes MNK1 and MNK2 play distinct roles in the brain, with one governing memory and the other social behavior.
