Abstract excerpt
Drug resistance to anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors (crizotinib and ceritinib) is caused by mutation in the region encoding kinase domain of ALK. Compounds with potential ability to inhibit all strains of ALK are a solution to tackle the problem of drug resistance. In this study, we delineated positions of residues possessing the ability to make ALK drug resistant upon mutation by assessing them using...
