Computational Study of Gleevec and G6G Reveals Molecular Determinants of Kinase Inhibitor Selectivity

Gleevec is a potent inhibitor of Abl tyrosine kinase but not of the highly homologous c-Src kinase. Because the ligand binds to an inactive form of the protein in which an Asp-Phe-Gly structural motif along the activation loop adopts a so-called DFG-out conformation, it was suggested that binding sp...
