Allosteric inhibitors Advantages – Highly specific – Lower chances of side effects – Overcome clinically acquired resistance – Barely explored
Allosteric inhibitors Disadvantages – Allosteric sites are often unknown – Hard to predict the outcome – Higher divergence between species
High-throughput screen of allosteric inhibitors Goal: identify targets that can stabilize the enzyme in a catalytically inactive conformation
Recombinant cSrc Site-directed mutagenesis + Cys activation loop Acrylodan O/N Mass spec Triplicates: acrylodan-cSrc (100 nM) Compounds: 10 and 50 µM min, RT
