New publication from the Hopfner lab on the molecular basis of human ATM kinase inhibition

09-11-2021

In this new publication, the Hopfner lab used cryo-electron microscopy to retrieve a high-resolution structure of the human checkpoint kinase ATM. ATM is a central element in the initiation of the DNA damage response upon DNA double strand breaks. This exciting work can play an important role in characterizing known ATM inhibitors and provides a framework for structure-based drug design. Read the full paper here.
