Unbinding Pathways of VEGFR2 Inhibitors Revealed by Steered Molecular Dynamics
9 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
A detailed atomistic description of the unbinding process of sorafenib and sunitinib, two known VEGFR2 inhibitors clinically used to treat renal cell carcinoma, was unraveled by using steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulations. While sunitinib is a fast-dissociating binder, sorafenib exhibits quite a long residence time at this enzyme, which might impact its duration of action in vivo. In order to gain insights...
