Comments on Our Work


"MD-based free-energy methods (26, 31), molecular mechanics calculations (32), and molecular modeling studies (33) have provided new insights into mutation-induced drug resistance mechanisms and the conformational transitions connecting active and inactive states (34-36)."

"Recently, computational structural modeling and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have helped us clarify the activation mechanism of EGFR at the atomic level (25-27). In addition, predictions of sensitivity of EGFR mutants to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors were performed for several EGFR mutations using binding free energy calculated with MD simulation (28, 29) and fitness scores calculated by molecular docking simulation (30)."

"Preclinical prediction of intrinsic resistance mechanisms of drug resistance has been reported. For kinase-directed therapies that would be expected to elicit intrinsic acquired resistance, structural analysis during drug design can identify mutations that would interfere with drug binding. Co-crystal structures and molecular modeling studies can identify amino acid residues essential to drug binding (79-81)." (Reference 81 is our publication).

"The development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) provide an important insight on oncogenic therapy.[1–4]" and "Lichun et al. (should be "Ma et al.", the first author is Lichun Ma) created EGFR mutant structural database by collecting information of 942 NSCLC patients toward 112 mutation types which includes: insertion, deletion, duplication, modification, and substitution. Clinical data showed that the large number of patients have L858R mutation followed by Exon 19 and Exon 21 mutations, respectively.[9]" "(References 1 and 9 are our publications).
