Understanding the basis of drug resistance of the mutants of αβ-tubulin dimer via molecular dynamics simulations.

The vital role of tubulin dimer in cell division makes it an attractive drug target. Drugs that target tubulin showed significant clinical success in treating various cancers. However, the efficacy of these drugs is attenuated by the emergence of tubulin mutants that are unsusceptible to several cla...
