Abstract excerpt
A single residue in the ATP binding pocket of protein kinases-termed the gatekeeper-has been shown to control sensitivity to a wide range of small molecule inhibitors (Chem. Biol.2004, 11, 691; Chem. Biol.1999, 6, 671). Kinases that possess a small side chain at this position (Thr, Ala, or Gly) are readily targeted by structurally diverse classes of inhibitors, whereas kinases that possess a larger residue at...
