Abstract excerpt
Crizotinib is an anticancer tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is approved for use as a first-line treatment for some non-small-cell lung cancers. L1196M is the most frequently observed mutation in NSCLC patients. This mutation, known as the gatekeeper mutation in the ALK kinase domain, confers resistance to crizotinib by sterically blocking the binding of the drug. However, the molecular mechanism of crizotinib...
