Towards a Molecular Understanding of the Link between Imatinib Resistance and Kinase Conformational Dynamics.
Due to its inhibition of the Abl kinase domain in the BCR-ABL fusion protein, imatinib is strikingly effective in the initial stage of chronic myeloid leukemia with more than 90% of the patients showing complete remission. However, as in the case of most targeted anti-cancer therapies, the emergence...
