Here we summarize recent and developing chemical approaches for modulating signaling pathways. In particular, we discuss targeting mutant signaling proteins, disrupting protein-protein interactions in cellular signaling networks, designing bivalent inhibitors of signaling proteins and identifying allosteric regulators of signaling enzymes. Over the past decade, great progress in the harvesting of chemical tools for basic research and clinical medicine has been made, but many challenges remain, and examples of exciting future targets are highlighted.

Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
