Liu S, Ammirati M, Song X, Knafels J, Zhang J, Greasley S, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2012 Feb; 287(17):13598-610. PMID: 22298776
Human glucokinase (GK) is a principal regulating sensor of plasma glucose levels. Mutations that inactivate GK are linked to diabetes, and mutations that activate it are associated with hypoglycemia. Unique...

Vajdos F, Hoth L, Geoghegan K, Simons S, Lemotte P, Danley D, et al.
Protein Sci . 2007 Apr; 16(5):897-905. PMID: 17456742
Lasofoxifene is a new and potent selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). The structural basis of its interaction with the estrogen receptor has been investigated by crystallographic analysis of its complex...

Cunningham D, Danley D, Geoghegan K, Griffor M, Hawkins J, Subashi T, et al.
Nat Struct Mol Biol . 2007 Apr; 14(5):413-9. PMID: 17435765
Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) lowers the abundance of surface low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor through an undefined mechanism. The structure of human PCSK9 shows the subtilisin-like catalytic site...

Nat Struct Mol Biol . 2007 Jan; 14(2):106-13. PMID: 17237796
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) shuttles various lipids between lipoproteins, resulting in the net transfer of cholesteryl esters from atheroprotective, high-density lipoproteins (HDL) to atherogenic, lower-density species. Inhibition of CETP...
