Abstract excerpt
Identification of cryptic pockets has the potential to open new therapeutic opportunities by discovering ligand binding sites that remain hidden in static apo structures of a target protein. Moreover, allosteric cryptic pockets can become valuable for designing target-selective ligands when the natural ligand binding sites are conserved in variants of a protein. For example, before an allosteric cryptic pocket...
