title: Isozyme-specific inhibitors and activators of protein kinase C.
abstract: We describe here the methods we have used to generate selective peptide inhibitors and activators of PKC-mediated signaling. These approaches should be applicable to any signaling event that is dependent on protein-protein interaction. Furthermore, targeting downstream enzymes in signal transduction has been notoriously difficult as there are often families of related enzymes in each cell. The approaches we have used overcame this difficulty and may prove useful not only in basic research, but also in drug discovery.
