  • Process for screening chemical compounds for modulating the interaction of an EVH1 domain and a process for detecting said interaction
    Patent number: 7563582
    Abstract: The invention relates to processes for identifying chemical compounds which are capable of modulating the interaction between VASP and zyxin. VASP or a VASP derivative and zyxin or a zyxin derivative which interact with one another are brought into contact with a chemical compound to be examined.
