Abstract excerpt
Protein kinases are critical drug targets against cancer. Since the discovery of Gleevec, a specific inhibitor of Abl kinase, the capability of this drug to distinguish between Abl and other tyrosine kinases, such as Src, has been intensely investigated but the origin of Gleevec's selectivity to Abl against Src is less studied. Here, we performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, dynamical cross-correlation...
