Abstract: The present invention provides novel fused ring heterocycle kinase modulators and methods of using the novel fused ring heterocycle kinase modulators to treat diseases mediated by kinase activity.

Abstract: A crystallization tray includes a plurality of crystallization cells, each cell having a reservoir adapted to receive an equilibrating solution, a shelf located adjacent to the reservoir and adapted for use as a temporary cryogenic holding area for a crystallized substance and/or a sample holding area, and a sample drop receptacle carried by the shelf and adapted to receive a sample drop including a crystallizable substance. A related method for forming macromolecular crystals includes dispensing an equilibrating solution in the reservoirs, dispensing a plurality of macromolecular solution droplets in the sample drop receptacles, covering the cells with a cover; and crystallizing the crystallizable substance by vapor diffusion.

Abstract: A system and method for predicting the active site residues in a target protein. The target protein, referred to interchangeably as the-target amino sequence or the target sequence, is pairwise aligned with a set of query sequences. Using these multiple pairwise sequence alignments, residue positions within the target sequence which satisfy specified sequence-based criteria are identified as candidate active site positions. Candidate active site positions are mapped to a three-dimensional representation of the target sequence and filtered against structure-based criteria. Positions within the target sequence that satisfy both the sequence-based and structure-based criteria are predicted to be active site residues.

Abstract: A blocking device for remote, selective blocking of a cold stream used in a protein crystal annealing process during X-ray protein crystallography includes a blocking member adapted to be selectively moved between at least a blocking position where the blocking member blocks the cold stream and a non-blocking position where the blocking member does not block the cold stream, and an actuation mechanism adapted to impart movement to the blocking member to cause the blocking member to be selectively moved between at least the blocking position and the non-blocking position.
