Synergy evaluation by a pathway-pathway interaction network: a new way to predict drug combination.

abstract：:We recently reported a chemical genetic method for generating bivalent inhibitors of protein kinases. This method relies on the use of the DNA repair enzyme O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) to display an ATP-competitive inhibitor and a ligand that targets a secondary binding domain. With this method potent...
