Next, we performed a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to mimic different conformations of K-RasG12D other than the ones found in the crystal structures. 20 clusters were generated from a 200 ns MD simulation. The P110 site appeared consistently in these simulations, of which one cluster (#6) showed the best SiteMap score of 1.06 (Figure S1D). This suggests that this pocket can become even more accessible during motion of the K-RasG12D protein. Mixed Solvent Molecular Dynamics (MxMD) simulations were then run with structure 4DSN using acetonitrile, isopropanol, pyrimidine, acetone, imidazole, and Nmethylacetamide as organic probes. These organic probes can affect the conformation of K-RasG12D and reveal which sites can be accessible to small molecules of various

chemotypes23. The P110 site was found to contain all of these solvents as a hot spot, indicating its potential as binding pocket for small organic molecules (Figure S1E). We evaluated whether we could identify fragments or lead-like compounds predicted to bind with reasonable affinity to the P110 site. We tested 3.5 million compounds using the Glide docking algorithm (Schrödinger Suites), which generates a score in which the more negative the score, the higher the predicted affinity24. 77 fragments with scores
