Abstract:The use of selective covalent inhibitors with a low binding affinity and high reactivity towards the target enzyme is a promising way to solve a long-standing problem of the "undruggable" RAS-like proteins. Specifically, compounds of the ARS family that prevent activation of the GDP-bound G12C mutant of the Kirsten RAS (KRAS) are in the focus of current experimental research. Here, in the first time we characterize computationally the entire reaction mechanism of formation of the covalent complex between the K… Show more
