Identification and assessment of novel targets is essential to combat drug resistance in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. HIV Capsid (HIV-CA), the protein playing a major role in both the early and late stages of the viral life cycle, has emerged as an important target. We have applied an NMR fragment screening platform and identified molecules that bind to the N-terminal domain (NTD) of HIV-CA at a site close to the interface with the C-terminal domain (CTD). Using X-ray crystallography, we have been...

Efficiently driving protein-based fragment screening and lead discovery using two-dimensional NMR
Abstract
Fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) and validation of small molecule binders using NMR spectroscopy is an established and widely used method in the early stages of drug discovery. Starting from a library of small compounds, ligand- or protein-observed NMR methods are employed to detect binders, typically weak, that become the starting points for structureâ??activity relationships (SAR) by NMR. Unlike the more frequently used ligand-observed 1D...

Over the past three decades nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been developed into a mature technique for the characterization of interactions of small molecule ligands with their corresponding protein and nucleic acid receptors. In fact, a significant number of industrial and academic laboratories employ NMR for screening small...
