Small-molecule inhibitors of protein–protein interactions: progressing towards the dream

MR Arkin, JA Wells - Nature reviews Drug discovery, 2004 - nature.com
Protein–protein interactions have a key role in most biological processes, and offer attractive
opportunities for therapeutic intervention. Developing small molecules that modulate protein…

High-resolution epitope mapping of hGH-receptor interactions by alanine-scanning mutagenesis

BC Cunningham, JA Wells - Science, 1989 - science.org
A strategy, called alanine-scanning mutagenesis, was used to identify specific side chains
in human growth hormone (hGH) that strongly modulate binding to the hGH receptor cloned …

A hot spot of binding energy in a hormone-receptor interface

T Clackson, JA Wells - Science, 1995 - science.org
The x-ray crystal structure of the complex between human growth hormone (hGH) and the
extracellular domain of its first bound receptor (hGHbp) shows that about 30 side chains from …

Reaching for high-hanging fruit in drug discovery at protein–protein interfaces

JA Wells, CL McClendon - Nature, 2007 - nature.com
Targeting the interfaces between proteins has huge therapeutic potential, but discovering
small-molecule drugs that disrupt protein–protein interactions is an enormous challenge. …

K-Ras (G12C) inhibitors allosterically control GTP affinity and effector interactions

JM Ostrem, U Peters, ML Sos, JA Wells, KM Shokat - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
Somatic mutations in the small GTPase K-Ras are the most common activating lesions found
in human cancer, and are generally associated with poor response to standard therapies 1 …

Additivity of mutational effects in proteins

JA Wells - Biochemistry, 1990 - ACS Publications
Revised Manuscript Received May 29, 1990 e energetics of virtually all binding functions in

Quantum gravity and extra dimensions at high-energy colliders

GF Giudice, R Rattazzi, JD Wells - Nuclear Physics B, 1999 - Elsevier
Recently it has been pointed out that the characteristic quantum-gravity scale could be as low
as the weak scale in theories with gravity propagating in higher dimensions. The observed …

[BOOK][B] Embeddings and extensions in analysis

JH Wells, LR Williams - 2012 - books.google.com
The object of this book is a presentation of the major results relating to two geometrically
