ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to protein modulators, especially modulators of kinesin bioactivities. The present invention provides methods for screening protein modulators, e.g., kinesin modulators that bind to a region of a kinesin and/or that modulate kinesin bioactivities. The present invention also provide methods and compositions for treatment of disorders mediated by abnormal cellular proliferation activities.
