Unlocking Undruggable Targets: Shifting Paradigms in Modern Drug Discovery

DrugBank

Its structure makes it incredibly difficult for drugs to bind effectively, which has stymied drug development for decades. The binding pockets on KRAS are shallow and polar , not ideal for the kinds of interactions needed for strong, effective drug binding.
