Using chemical-genetics to inhibit and characterise “undruggable” enzymes

University of Dundee School of Medicine
The ability to inhibit kinases with small molecule drugs has transformed our understanding of signalling networks. It has allowed us to define the substrates and processes that each kinase controls, and to map how these enzymes cooperate within signalling pathways. Read more
