  • Methods of treatment using allosteric processing inhibitors for matrix metalloproteinases
    Patent number: 8883473
    Abstract: The present invention includes a crystal comprising a complex of the pro form of a matrix metalloprotease (proMMP) and a small-molecule allosteric processing inhibitor that inhibits that activation of the proMMP, methods for identifying small-molecule allosteric processing inhibitors that inhibit the activation of a proMMP, and methods of treatment using small-molecule allosteric processing inhibitors that inhibit the activation of a proMMP. The present invention relates to the crystal structure of a complex of proMMP9 bound to a small-molecule allosteric processing inhibitor that inhibits activation of proMMP9. The invention further relates to the use of the methods and the crystal and related structural information for designing, selecting and/or optimizing small-molecule allosteric processing inhibitors that inhibit activation of proMMP9 and proMMP9 homologues.

  • Method for the identification of ligands
    Publication number: 20060110732
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method of identifying ligands that modulate protein-protein interactions. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods of determining agonists or antagonists of a co-regulator dependent target molecule based on the ability to modify the stability of the target molecule in a tissue-selective manner.

  • Crystal structure of the c-fms kinase domain: applications and use of heterologous substitutions of kinase insert domains for crystallization
    Publication number: 20060094081
    Abstract: The present invention includes a crystal structure of the kinase domain of c-fms and a methodology to produce diffraction quality crystals of the c-fms kinase domain by heterologous substitution of the kinase insert domain. Also included in the invention is the structure of the c-fms kinase domain in liganded form for use in the discovery of inhibitors of c-fms for the treatment of diseases caused by inappropriate activity of c-fms. The present invention includes descriptions of the X-ray diffraction patterns of the crystals. The diffraction patterns allow the three dimensional structure of c-fms to be determined at atomic resolution so that ligand binding sites on can be identified and the interactions of ligands with amino acid residues can be modeled.
