Molecular basis of differential selectivity of cyclobutyl-substituted imidazole inhibitors against CDKs: insights for rational drug design.

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) belong to the CMGC subfamily of protein kinases and play crucial roles in eukaryotic cell division cycle. At least seven different CDKs have been reported to be implicated in the cell cycle regulation in vertebrates. These CDKs are highly homologous and contain a cons...
