KDM1A and cancer: Subsequent 200-ns MD simulations suggested that DEP formed stable complexes with HDAC1, KDM1A, and EZH2, moderate stability with EP300, and partial dissociation with HDAC2, consistent with hydrophobic and hydrogen-bonding interactions at the binding interfaces.<h4>Conclusion</h4>This study provides a theoretical framework for exploring the molecular mechanisms through which DEP may contribute to CRC development, emphasizing the value of network toxicology in cancer research.
