TL;DR
These findings provide a mechanistic explanation for entrectinib resistance at atomic resolution and illustrate how a single-point mutation can trigger long-range perturbations in protein dynamics and interdomain communication.
This study demonstrates that PKM2 mutations dynamically remodel the binding pocket and allosteric communication to facilitate shikonin recognition, highlighting the newly identified pocket as a promising therapeutic site for future PKM2 targeted drug design.
A number of lead candidates with strong EGFR inhibitory potential, promising pharmacokinetic profiles, and mutant selectivity were successfully identified by the integrated computational approach.

Background: Oncogenic alterations in KRAS are among the most frequent driver mutations in human cancers, particularly lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. Mutant KRAS was historically considered an “undruggable” target because of its high affinity for guanosine triphosphate and guanosine diphosphate (GDP) and the...

Targeting ALK has become a viable therapeutic strategy in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following the discovery of the EML4‐ALK fusion. Several inhibitors were developed which improved the patient's outcomes; however, the emergence of drug resistance limits the treatment and poses significant challenges. The s...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Current tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting oncogenic KIT and PDGFRA have improved patient outcomes, yet off-target toxicities and drug resistance mutations remain major clinical challenges. Many approve...
