Abstract:
Traditionally, protein kinases have been regarded as non-druggable targets, instead they play a central role in physiological and pathophysiological processes. This changed when STI571, an inhibitor of the Bcr-Abl kinase, known as Gleevec, reached the market as the first designer drug. Ever since, kinase-directed research and development (R&D) expanded rapidly, leading to more than 45 clinically relevant kinase inhibitors. At a comparable pace the kinase-based technologies matured, cumulating in the development of sophisticated chemogenetic and chemoproteomic tools, which are referred to as chemical kinomics.:

Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...
Proteomics
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...
