Abstract excerpt
Small molecules that modulate the activity of biological signaling molecules can be powerful probes of signal transduction pathways. Highly specific molecules with high affinity are difficult to identify because of the conserved nature of many protein active sites. A newly developed approach to discovery of such small molecules that relies on protein engineering and chemical synthesis has yielded powerful tools...
