Abstract
A perspective is offered on the recent development of Src-homology 2 (SH2) antagonists of Src, Grb2 and ZAP-70. Inhibiting Src SH2 is believed to be a potentially attractive way of regulating bone resorption. Grb2 SH2 has been shown to be an important component of the mitogenic ras pathway; and thus might be of utility in cancer research. ZAP-70 is a tyrosine kinase that is expressed solely in T-cells and natural killer cells. Since inhibition of the tandem SH2 domains of ZAP-70 has been shown to block T-cell proliferation, antagonists for this particular protein could have implications in immune suppression. The emphasis of the article is placed on the structure-based design, synthesis and biological activity of a number of newly reported SH2 antagonists in each of the three areas.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
