METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS RELATED TO WRAPPING OF DEHYDRONS

Page/Page column 43-44, (2008/12/06)
This application describes a novel technology in drug discovery and drug-based imaging/detection: the wrapping technology. This technology is based on identified singularities in the structure of soluble proteins. In contrast with drug-design approaches based on standard structural considerations, the packing of a protein, or more precisely, its dehydron pattern, may be used as a selectivity filter to design small-molecule inhibitors. The wrapping technology described herein is a novel form of rational drug design for avoiding side effects in drug therapy and sharpening the inhibitory impact of drugs on the oncokinome.
