Title:
CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF INTERLEUKIN-2 TYROSINE KINASE (ITK) AND BINDING POCKETS THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005056785
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to molecules or molecular complexes which comprise binding pockets of ITK or its structural homologues. The invention relates to crystallizable compositions and crystals comprising ITK. The present invention also relates to a data storage medium encoded with the structural coordinates of molecules and molecular complexes which comprise the ITK or ITK-like ATP-binding pockets. The present invention also relates to a computer comprising such data storage material. The computer may generate a three-dimensional structure or graphical three-dimensional representation of such molecules or molecular complexes. This invention also relates to methods of using the structure coordinates to solve the structure of homologous proteins or protein complexes. In addition, this invention relates to methods of using the structure coordinates to screen for and design compounds, including inhibitory compounds, that bind to ITK or homologues thereof.
