Fragmenting the S100B-p53 interaction: combined virtual/biophysical screening approaches to identify ligands.

abstract：:Targeting protein-protein interactions, such as the HIV-1 gp120-CD4 interface, has become a cutting-edge approach in the current drug discovery scenario. Many small molecules have been developed so far as inhibitors of the interaction between CD4 and HIV-1 gp120. However, due to a variety of reasons such as solubility...
