Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases are widely expressed enzymes that function as critical components of cell signaling pathways. In a new study, key interactions in the catalytic pocket essential for substrate selectivity have been identified for these enzymes, thus introducing novel perspectives for drug design.
