Abstract excerpt
Cdk2 promotes DNA replication and is a promising cancer therapeutic target, but its functions appear redundant with Cdk1, an essential Cdk affected by most Cdk2 inhibitors. Here, we present an integrated multidisciplinary approach to address Cdk redundancy. Mathematical modeling of enzymology data predicted conditions allowing selective chemical Cdk2 inhibition. Together with experiments in Xenopus egg extracts,...
