Abstract:
The invention provides the three-dimensional structure of a construct of human glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3); crystals of a construct of human glycogen synthase kinase 3- (GSK3-); containing the protein's catalytic kinase domain; a domain for crystallizing the protein construct to provide a GSK3 crystal sufficient for structure determination; and a method for using the GSK3 construct's three dimensional structure for the identification of possible therapeutic compounds in the treatment of various disease conditions mediated by GSK3 activity.
