An EU funded collaboration is providing integrated packages of protein kinase discovery and development services.

The Kinomed Partnership has been established to provide kinase services, including production, assay development, in silico screening, fragment library construction and medicinal chemistry. Funding has been provided by Eurostars, a European Union (EU) programme.

 

Olaf-Georg Issinger, director of KinaseDetect, a member of the partnership, said the goal is to develop a “service platform to provide the pharmaceutical industry with off-the-shelf three-dimensional structures of kinases and their complexes with novel lead compounds”.

 

KinaseDetect is working with IOTA Pharmaceuticals and SARomics Biostructures to develop the service offering.
