PAK'n it in: identification of a selective PAK inhibitor
Abstract
p21-activated kinases are important signaling kinases for which no specific chemical inhibitors are known. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Deacon et al. target allosteric transitions undergone during PAK activation to identify a selective inhibitor (Deacon et al., 2008).
