TLDR
Using long-timescale molecular dynamics simulations, it is found that the N lobe dimerization interface of the wild-type EGFR kinase domain is intrinsically disordered and that it becomes ordered only uponDimerization.

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Cell Proliferation Signaling Pathways.

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms that regulate EGFR signal transduction are reviewed, including the EGFR structure and its mutations, ligand binding and EGFR dimerization, as well as the signaling pathways that lead to G1 cell cycle progression.

Role of Molecular Dynamics and Related Methods in Drug Discovery.

TL;DR: The theoretical background of MD and enhanced sampling methods is reviewed, focusing on free-energy perturbation, metadynamics, steered MD, and other methods most consistently used to study drug-target binding.

EGF receptor trafficking: consequences for signaling and cancer.

TL;DR: This data indicates that EGF receptor endocytic traffic can regulate signaling and cell survival and EGFR traffic promoted by antineoplastic therapy is important in tumor resistance.

Allostery in Disease and in Drug Discovery

TL;DR: This work focuses on the challenging questions of how allostery can both cause disease and contribute to development of new therapeutics and aims to increase the awareness of the linkage between disease symptoms on the cellular level and specific aberrant allosteric actions on the molecular level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overcoming EGFR(T790M) and EGFR(C797S) resistance with mutant-selective allosteric inhibitors

TL;DR: Rational discovery of EAI045 is described, an allosteric inhibitor that targets selected drug-resistant EGFR mutants but spares the wild type receptor and shows dramatic synergy of cetuximab, an antibody therapeutic that blocks EGFR dimerization, rendering the kinase uniformly susceptible to theAllosteric agent.

Canonical dynamics: Equilibrium phase-space distributions

TL;DR: The dynamical steady-state probability density is found in an extended phase space with variables x, p/sub x/, V, epsilon-dot, and zeta, where the x are reduced distances and the two variables epsilus-dot andZeta act as thermodynamic friction coefficients.

Development and testing of a general amber force field.

TL;DR: A general Amber force field for organic molecules is described, designed to be compatible with existing Amber force fields for proteins and nucleic acids, and has parameters for most organic and pharmaceutical molecules that are composed of H, C, N, O, S, P, and halogens.

Activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor underlying responsiveness of non-small-cell lung cancer to gefitinib

TL;DR: A subgroup of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer have specific mutations in the EGFR gene which correlate with clinical responsiveness to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib, and these mutations lead to increased growth factor signaling and confer susceptibility to the inhibitor.
