Drug specificity and affinity are encoded in the probability of cryptic pocket opening in myosin motor domains
The design of compounds that can discriminate between closely related target proteins remains a central challenge in drug discovery. Specific therapeutics targeting the highly conserved myosin motor family are urgently needed as mutations in at least six of its members cause numerous diseases. Allos...
