Recognition-Domain Focused Chemosensors: Versatile and Efficient Reporters of Protein Kinase Activity

TL;DR: A new, recognition-domain focused (RDF) strategy was developed that allows inclusion of extended binding determinants to maximize recognition by the cognate kinase, which has now permitted the construction of chemosensors for a variety of representative Ser/Thr kinases with greatly enhanced selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probing the kinome in real time with fluorescent peptides

TL;DR: This tutorial review briefly summarizes the different fluorescent continuous peptide-based strategies that are being commonly employed to sense protein phosphorylation, introduces a few novel and attractive emerging assays, and discusses their advantages and limitations, and highlights possible future directions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of red-shifted 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives using click chemistry and their incorporation into phosphorylation chemosensors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a red-shifted 8-hydroxyquinoline-based fluorophores and their incorporation into peptidyl kinase activity reporters were described. But the authors did not describe the synthesis of the new fluorophore.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluorescent Reporters and Biosensors for Probing the Dynamic Behavior of Protein Kinases

TL;DR: Current technologies to probe different dynamic features of protein kinases are reviewed and limitations where new developments are required are discussed, in particular with respect to infrared and near-infrared fluorescent probes and strategies which enable improved signal-to-noise ratio and controlled activation of probes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new serotonin 5-HT 6 receptor antagonist with procognitive activity - Importance of a halogen bond interaction to stabilize the binding

TL;DR: In vitro pharmacological characterization and site-directed mutagenesis and homology models show the importance of a halogen bond interaction between a chlorine atom of the new class of 5-HT6 receptor antagonists identified herein and a backbone carbonyl group in transmembrane domain 4.
