摘要： The present invention provides crystalline molecules or molecular complexes which comprise binding pockets of Aurora-2 or its homologues. The invention also provides crystals comprising Aurora-2. The present invention also relates to a computer comprising a data storage medium encoded with the structural coordinates of Aurora-2 binding pockets and methods of using a computer to evaluate the ability of a compound to bind to the molecule or molecular complex. This invention also provides methods of using the structure coordinates to solve the structure of homologous proteins or protein complexes. In addition, this invention provides methods of using the structure coordinates to screen for and design compounds, including inhibitory compounds, that bind to Aurora-2 or homologues thereof.
