2OH0, 2OJF - PubMed Abstract: 
Thr-211 is one of three different amino acid residues in the kinase domain of protein kinase B/Akt as compared to protein kinase A (PKA), a closely related analog in the same AGC family. In an attempt to improve the potency and selectivity of our indazole-pyridine series of Akt inhibitors over PKA, efforts have focused on the incorporation of a chemical functionality to interact with the hydroxy group of Thr-211 ...
