What Features of Ligands Are Relevant to the Opening of Cryptic Pockets in Drug Targets?

Small-molecule drug design aims to identify inhibitors that can specifically bind to a functionally important region on the target, i.e., an active site of an enzyme. Identification of potential binding pockets is typically based on static three-dimensional structures. However, small molecules may i...
