  • Publication number: 20230183810
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the discovery of a method for identifying a treatment regimen for a patient diagnosed with cancer, predicting patient resistance to therapeutic agents and identifying new therapeutic agents, obtaining the specificity profile of a therapeutic agent, a method of designing a scaffold of a therapeutic agent directed against a drug-resistant target, drug scaffolds, and methods of uses thereof to identify drugs to treat diseases such as cancer. Specifically, the present invention relates to the use of an algorithm to identify a mutation in a kinase, determine if the mutation is an activation or resistance mutation and then to suggest an appropriate therapeutic regimen. The invention also relates to the use of a pattern matching algorithm and a crystal structure library to predict the functionality of a gene mutation, predict the specificity of small molecule kinase inhibitors and for the identification of new therapeutic agents.

  • Publication number: 20060074222
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods of determining the prognosis of a subject with a Pin1 associated disorder by evaluating the levels of phosphorylated Pin1 in a biological sample. The invention also provides Pin1 polypeptides phosphorylated position 16, position 71, or both. The invention further relates to a crystal structure of a pPin1(71) polypeptide and a pPin1(16)(71) polypeptide. The invention also provides constitutively active mutants of Pin1 and modulators that are specific for the molecules. The invention further provides methods for determining if a subject is at risk of developing a Pin1 associated state by determining if a the subject has a mutation in Pin1 that renders the polypeptide constitutively active.
