From structural insight to molecule: Integrative molecular simulations identify candidate pyruvate kinase activators

Pyruvate kinase (PKLR) is a key glycolytic enzyme that regulates red blood cell energy homeostasis. Although Mitapivat is the first approved allosteric activator for pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD), its clinical utility is limited by metabolic and pharmacokinetic challenges, underscoring the need for improved analogue...
