Conformational Trajectory of the Molecular Chameleon Grazoprevir From Formulation to Target-Bound. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Macrocycles represent a promising class of beyond‐rule‐of‐5 (bRo5) therapeutics, capable of targeting proteins traditionally considered undruggable by conventional small molecules. Macrocycles exhibit intrinsic flexibility and often display a “chameleon‐like” ability to adapt to their environment, thereby enhancing their oral bioavailability ...
