Abstract: The disclosure provides a crystal structure of a complex of the HGF ?-chain with am extracellular fragment of the Met receptor, as well as use of the crystal structure in the design, identification, and selection of ligands that modulate the Met Receptor and the interaction of HGF with the Met receptor.

Abstract: The present invention concerns determination of the crystal structure of the macrophage specific receptor, CRIg (earlier referred to as STIgMA), and its complex with the C3b and C3c subunits of complement C3 (C3b:CRIg and C3c:CRIg complexes). The invention further concerns the use of the crystal structure of CRIg or the C3b:CRIg complex to screen for and identify molecules structurally and/or functionally related to CRIg, including CRIg agonists and antagonists.

Abstract: Compounds of Formulas Ia and Ib, and including stereoisomers, geometric isomers, tautomers, solvates, metabolites and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are useful for inhibiting lipid kinases including PI3K, and for treating disorders such as cancer mediated by lipid kinases. Methods of using compounds of Formula Ia and Ib for in vitro, in situ, and in vivo diagnosis, prevention or treatment of such disorders in mammalian cells, or associated pathological conditions, are disclosed.

Abstract: Anti-VEGF antibodies and variants thereof, including those having high affinity for binding to VEGF, are disclosed. Also provided are methods of using phage display technology with naive libraries to generate and select the anti-VEGF antibodies with desired binding and other biological activities. Further contemplated are uses of the antibodies in research, diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new and improved method for treating diabetes and or its associated complications by modulating the activity of protein tryosin phosphatase 1B (“PTP-1B”). The inventive compounds modulate the activity PTP-1B by binding to a novel binding site referred herein as the PTP-1B exosite that is distal to the active site of PTP-1B. The present invention also relates to a new and improved method of treating immune system disorders by modulating the activity of T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (“TC-PTP”). The inventive compound modulate the activity of TC-PTP by binding to a novel binding site referred herein as the TC-PTP exosite that is distal to the active site of PTP-1B.
