High-Throughput Prediction of the Impact of Genetic Variability on Drug Sensitivity and Resistance Patterns for Clinically Relevant Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutations from Atomistic Simulations.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the kinase domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) can be drivers of cancer and also trigger drug resistance in patients receiving chemotherapy treatment based on kinase inhibitors. A priori knowledge of the impact of EGFR variants on drug sensitivity would help to optimize chemotherapy and design new drugs that are effective against resistant variants before they emerge in clinical...
