Methods of indentifying modulators of the FGF receptor
The present invention provides fragments of SNT and FGFR which can form a binding complex that is amenable to structural determinations by NMR spectroscopy. The three-dimensional structural data is also included as part of the invention. In addition, the present invention provides methodology for related structure based rational drug design using the three-dimensional data. Nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the fragments are also provided.
1. An isolated peptide derived from FGFR1 consisting of 16 to 50 amino acids comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5: Val Xaa Xaa Leu Xaa Xaa Xaa Ile Xaa Leu Xaa Arg Xaa Val Xaa Val.
2. An isolated peptide derived from FGFR1 consisting of 16 to 50 amino acids comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3.
