Abstract excerpt
The smoothened (SMO) receptor, an essential signal transducer in the Hedgehog pathway, was targeted with antagonists to suppress the tumor. It is interesting that SMO D473H mutation confers resistance on inhibitor LDE-225 rather than LEQ-506. In this paper, the binding modes of them against the wild type and mutant SMO receptors were identified to gain insights into the resistant and non-resistant factors, based...
