Finding the perfect partner: Molecular matchmaking in the kinase world

Organised by:

SCI's London Group

Marks & Clerk

Registration Closed

This event is no longer available for registration.

Synopsis

The Kinase family of enzymes catalyse the phosphorylation of proteins within cells allowing signal transduction from cell-surface receptors to the transcriptional apparatus in the nucleus. Their involvement in a cell’s survival and its responses to environmental challenges provides many opportunities for disease intervention. The challenge has been to obtain selective inhibitors of each kinase in order to tease out their role in signalling and disease pathogenesis or propagation. This lecture will provide an overview and illustrations of strategies that have been adopted to obtain such selective inhibitors.

Light refreshments will be served before and after the lecture.
