Figure 3: Crystal structure of WZ4002 bound to EGFR T790M. a, Chemical structures of WZ8040 and WZ4002 are shown schematically in a manner resembling the conformation adopted in complex with the kinase. b, Crystal structure of WZ4002 in complex with EGFR T790M mutant (PDB ID 3IKA). WZ4002 binds the active conformation of the kinase, with both the regulatory C-helix and the ‘DFG’ segment of the activation loop in their inward, active positions. The EGFR kinase is shown in a ribbon representation (blue) with the bound inhibitor in yellow. Side-chain and main-chain atoms are shown for selected residues that contact the compound. Expected hydrogen bonds to the backbone amide and carbonyl atoms of Met 793 are indicated by dashed lines. Note also the covalent bond with Cys 797. The structure was refined to a crystallographic R value of 21.3% (R[free] = 25.4%) with data extending to 2.9-Å resolution (see Methods for further crystallographic details).
