COMP 266 |
| The ErbB family of tyrosine kinases, as well as the kinase IGF-IR, are both important targets for development of anti-cancer drugs in the class known as "molecular targeted therapeutics." A precise understanding of the determinants which drive inhibitor specificity and affinity for these targets will be important for development of next generation drugs using techniques such as virtual screening. Results from all-atom structure-based modeling approaches (molecular dynamics, free energy calculations, and structure activity relationships) will be presented from simulations of inhibitors with kinase cancer targets which include EGFR, HER2 (structure obtained by homology modeling), ErbB4, and IGF-IR. |
