Progress in discovery of small-molecule modulators of protein-protein interactions via fragment screening.

Abstract:

:Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) present a formidable challenge to medicinal chemistry. The extended and open nature of many binding sites at protein interfaces has made it difficult to find useful chemical matter by traditional screening methods using standard screening libraries. This Digest focuses on the progress that has been made in discovering small-molecule modulators for a diverse selection of PPI targets using fragment screening and highlights the utility of this strategy in this context.
