CDK2 is a promising target for the development of anti-cancer agents. It is not an easy task to design CDK2-selective inhibitors which do not exhibit activity for other CDK family members, particularly CDK4, due to a high degree of structural homology among CDK family members. In this study, 4-substituted N-phenylpyrimidin-2-amine derivatives as CDK2 inhibitors were examined to understand the selectivity mechanism against CDK4 using a combined approach of 3D-QSAR, molecular docking, MESP, MD…

Insights into the Structural Basis of N2 and O6 Substituted Guanine Derivatives as Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2 (CDK2) Inhibitors: Prediction of the Binding Modes and Potency of the inhibitors by Docking and ONIOM Calculations
TLDR
A good correlation model is obtained between the ONIOM derived quantum chemical descriptor "H-bond interaction energy" and the experimental biological activity, with a correlation coefficient value of R = 0.80 for 75 compounds, which suggests that electrostatic interactions are the principal driving force in this protein-ligand interaction.

TLDR
3D-QSAR CoMFA models on 72 selective inhibitors were established and those residues which can introduce ligand selectivity were discovered and further validated, and the results reveal that the electrostatic field in the hinge region, the steric field and electrostaticField in the solvent accessible region and the affinity subpocket have critical impacts on selectivity.

TLDR
A molecular modeling study combining QM-polarized ligand docking, molecular dynamics, free energy calculation, and three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSAR) was performed to understand the binding mode between the inhibitors and (V600E)B-RAF kinase and the structural requirement for the inhibiting activity.
