Abstract
During the past decades, solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has demonstrated itself as a promising tool in drug discovery. Especially, fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) has benefited a lot from the NMR development. Multiple candidate compounds and FDA-approved drugs derived from FBDD have been developed with the assistance of NMR techniques. NMR has broad applications in different stages of the FBDD process, which includes fragment library construction, hit generation and validation, hit-to-lead optimization and working mechanism elucidation, etc. In this manuscript, we reviewed the current progresses of NMR applications in fragment-based drug discovery, which were illustrated by multiple reported cases. Moreover, the NMR applications in protein-protein interaction (PPI) modulators development and the progress of in-cell NMR for drug discovery were also briefly summarized.

Abstract
Solution NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study protein structures and dynamics under physiological conditions. This technique is particularly useful in target-based drug discovery projects as it provides protein-ligand binding information in solution. Accumulated studies have shown that NMR will play more and more important...

Abstract
Introduction: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applications in drug discovery are classified into two categories: ligand-based methods and protein-based methods. The latter is based on the observation of the (1)H-(15)N HSQC spectra of a protein with and without lead compounds. However, in order to take this...

In the half-century since its discovery, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has become the single most powerful form of spectroscopy in both chemistry and structural biology. The dramatic technical advances over the past 10-15 years, which continue apace, have markedly increased the range of applications for NMR in the study of protein-ligand interactions. These form the basis for its most...
