Structure-guided design of an Hsp90β N-terminal isoform-selective inhibitor

The molecular chaperone Hsp90 oversees the folding of many proteins associated with cancer progression but existing small-molecule inhibitors of this pathway are not isoform-selective. Here, the authors rationally design an Hsp90 inhibitor that displays high selectivity for the Hsp90β isoform.
