Abstract excerpt
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), a receptor tyrosine kinase, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several cancers. The small molecule ceritinib can overcome drug-resistance mutations that are observed in crizotinib-resistant patients, although the detailed mechanism for this ability of ceritinib remains elusive. Here, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of six systems (including the apo ALK, the wild-type...
