Abstract excerpt
Epidermal growth factor receptor kinase is implicated in cancer development due to either overexpression or activation variants in its functional intracellular kinase domain. Threonine to methionine (Thr 790 Met) is one such variant observed commonly in patients showing resistance to kinase inhibitor drug Erlotinib. Two mechanisms for resistance have been proposed (1) steric hindrance and (2) enhanced binding to...
