Abstract excerpt
c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation is linked to the aberrant cell death in several neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. The sequence similarity among the JNK isoforms and fellow MAP kinase family member p38 has rendered the challenge of producing JNK3-specific inhibitors difficult. Using the crystal structure of JNK3 complexed with JNK inhibitors, potential...
