Abstract excerpt
Allosteric modulators offer a novel approach for kinase inhibition because they target less conserved binding sites compared to the active site; thus, higher selectivity may be obtained. PIK-108, a known pan phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, was recently detected to occupy a non-ATP binding site in the PI3Kα C-lobe. This newly identified pocket is located close to residue 1047, which is frequently...
