Designing small molecules to target cryptic pockets yields both positive and negative allosteric modulators.
Allosteric drugs, which bind to proteins in regions other than their main ligand-binding or active sites, make it possible to target proteins considered "undruggable" and to develop new therapies that circumvent existing resistance. Despite growing interest in allosteric drug discovery, ra...
