ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses nucleic acids that encode an active human Aurora 2 kinase catalytic domain. The present invention also discloses methods of growing X-ray diffractable crystals of polypeptides comprising the active human Aurora 2 kinase catalytic domain. The present invention further discloses a crystalline form of a catalytic domain of human Aurora 2 kinase. In addition, the present invention discloses methods of using the X-ray diffractable crystals of human Aurora 2 kinase in structure assisted drug design to identify compounds that can modulate the enzymatic activity of human Aurora 2 kinase.
