  • Publication number: 20160289650
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds comprising a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence derived from the sequence of a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) and at least one fluorophore coupled to an amino acid of said polypeptide. The invention also relates to said compounds associated with a technology enabling their intracellular delivery. The present invention also relates to the use of such compounds, or of compositions comprising said compounds, for determining if a product is capable of modulating the conformation of a CDK. More particularly, a compound according to the invention is usable for high-content high-throughput screening.
