Structure-based discovery of hydrocarbon-stapled paxillin peptides that block FAK scaffolding in cancer

Abstract The focal adhesion kinase (FAK) scaffold provides FAK-targeted cancer therapeutics with greater efficacy and specificity than traditional kinase inhibitors. The FAK scaffold function largely involves the interaction between FAK’s focal adhesion targeting (FAT) domain and paxillin, ultimatel...
