Abstract
Lack of apparent pockets in the ground conformation of Ras has long challenged the rational design of inhibitors against this oncogenic protein. The sparsely populated, transiently formed state 1 of activated Ras, on the other hand, shows appreciable surface roughness and is increasingly recognized as a potential target for drug discovery. The state 1, however, is extremely flexible, and a static structure cannot fully unveil its conformational space that can be exploited for drug design. Here, we present a conformational ensemble of state 1 that was derived using chemical shift-based modelling. The ensemble reveals the intrinsic plasticity of a druggable pocket in state 1 and demonstrates the mechanism of conformational selection for inhibitor recognition. The large set of structural templates in the ensemble, providing a comprehensive description of thermally accessible pocket conformations, are expected to significantly aid the rational design of anti-Ras drugs.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: In conjunction with the recognition of the functional role of internal dynamics of proteins at various timescales, there is an emerging use of dynamic structural ensembles instead of individual conformers. These ensembles are usually substantially...
