A Diagnostic Marker for Matrix Metalloprotease (MMP)-2 and -9 Activity in Cancer Tissue

This invention is a method for the identification of MMP enzyme activity in tissue. MMPs are involved in tumor progression and therefore are targets for anti-cancer drug therapies. However, most drug therapies directed at inhibition of MMPs have failed, in part, because there is no reliable biomarker to determine MMP activity in tissue. This invention...

Biologically active ATP-Analogs for tagging phosphoproteins

A novel Photo Cross Linking Assay (PCLA) for targeting protein phosphorylation Protein phosphorylation catalyzed by kinases and phosphatases act at critical control points that regulates many cellular processes. This central role makes them an attractive target for identifying largely untapped and important biomarkers for disease diagnostics. Understanding...
