You are a physician treating a patient with an immune deficiency (i.e., an immune system that is not activated properly). Based on our lecture, which of the following drugs might be useful to look into to treat the patient? - A drug that shifts the metabolism of the cancer cells toward oxidative phosphorylation. - A drug that shifts the metabolism of the cancer cells toward glycolysis. - A drug that blocks cell division of effector immune cells. - A drug that blocks signaling for inflammatory cytokines (i.e., inflammatory signals).

Question: You have been asked to design a drug to inhibit BCR-ABL in an effort to treat CML. Using your knowledge of enzyme-catalyzed reactions and the BCR-ABL kinase, propose a drug development strategy to combat CML. *Regular Abl protein is regulated by other molecules. *BCR-ABL has a mutant kinase that leads to cancer.
