The kinome is not enough.
Mechanism of action studies are essential to link observable effects on cells with molecular targets of small molecules. Caligiuri and coworkers describe how yeast three-hybrid screening identified kinases that might mediate an intriguing tumor cell-specific antiproliferative effect.
