Abstract excerpt
Large-scale (approximately 36,000 atoms) long-time (30 ns each) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on the complex of imatinib and 16 common mutants of the ABL tyrosine kinase domain have been performed to study the imatinib resistance mechanisms at the atomic level. MD simulations show that long time computational simulations could offer insight information that static models, simple homology modeling methods,...
