Abstract excerpt
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) and their phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate (PIP(3)) products regulate a variety of cellular processes. Of these, PI3Kα is an attractive target for anticancer drug design. Mutations in the PI3Kα kinase domain alter the mobility of the activation loop resulting in gain of function. We employed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations-based energetic analysis using molecular...
