Kinase inhibitors

Narrowing down the real targets

Many kinase inhibitors for cancer therapy are rather nonselective, and their cellular mechanisms of action are incompletely understood. A nested chemical proteomics and chemical genetics strategy reveals which cellular targets of the clinical kinase inhibitor dasatinib functionally relate to its anti-oncogenic activity.
