Abstract excerpt
In spite of the effectiveness of Imatinib for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment, resistance has repeatedly been reported and is associated with point mutations in the BCR-ABL chimeric gene. To overcome this resistance, several inhibitors of BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase activity were developed. In this context, computational simulations have become a powerful tool for understanding drug-protein interactions....
