Isomer-sourced structure iteration methods for in silico development of inhibitors: Inducing GTP-bound NRAS-Q61 oncogenic mutations to an “off-like” state

The NRAS-mutant subset of melanoma represent some of the most aggressive and deadliest types associated with poor overall survival. Unfortunately, for more than 40 years, no therapeutic agent directly targeting NRAS mutations has been clinically approved. In this work, based on microsecond scale mol...
