Abstract:Approximately 15% of all human tumors harbor mutant KRAS, a membrane-associated small GTPase and a notorious oncogene. Somatic mutations that render KRAS constitutively active lead to uncontrolled cell growth, survival, proliferation, and eventually cancer. KRAS is thus a critical anticancer drug target. However, despite aggressive efforts in recent years, there is no drug on the market that directly targets KRAS. In the current work, we combined molecular simulation and high-throughput virtual screening with … Show more
