Summary

This research uses a computational method called MELT to identify hidden allosteric pockets in shape-shifting proteins like BCR–ABL kinase. By targeting these pockets, drugs can stabilize inactive protein states, overcoming resistance caused by protein flexibility and enabling more effective, adaptable strategies for drug discovery.
