DFG-1 residue controls inhibitor binding mode and affinity, providing a basis for rational design of kinase inhibitor selectivity

Selectivity remains a challenge for ATP-mimetic kinase inhibitors, an issue that may be overcome by targeting unique residues or binding pockets. However, to date only few strategies have been developed. Here we identify that bulky residues located N-terminal to the DFG motif (DFG-1) represent an op...
