New Protein Structure May Aid In Design Of Therapeutics For Autoimmune
Scientists have determined the crystal structure of a protein kinase C (PKC) isozyme, in this case the novel PKC family member PKC theta (PKCΘ). This structure should prove extremely useful in the rational design of small molecule inhibitors of PKCΘ, which has been implicated in T-cell mediated disease processes including inflammation and autoimmunity.
