Fragment-based drug design is a well-established strategy for rational drug design, with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) on high-field spectrometers as the method of reference for screening and hit validation. However, high-field NMR spectrometers are not only expensive, but require specialized maintenance, dedicated space, and depend on liquid helium cooling which became critical over the recurring global helium shortages. We propose an alternative to high-field NMR screening by applying the...
[NMR paper] NMR spectroscopy of the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 and fragment-based screening identify three protein hotspots and an antiviral fragment
NMR spectroscopy of the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 and fragment-based screening identify three protein hotspots and an antiviral fragment
The main protease (3CLp) of the SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent for the COVID-19 pandemic, is one of the main targets for drug development. To be active, 3CLp relies on a complex interplay between dimerization, active site flexibility, and allosteric regulation. The deciphering of these mechanisms is a crucial step to enable the search for inhibitors. In this context, using NMR spectroscopy, we studied the conformation of dimeric 3CLp from the...

Abstract
Transverse and longitudinal relaxation times (T1? and T1 ) have been widely exploited in NMR to probe the binding of ligands and putative drugs to target proteins. We have shown recently that long-lived...

[NMR900 blog] picoSpin Benchtop NMR Spectrometer - Demonstration
picoSpin Benchtop NMR Spectrometer - Demonstration
Cole-Parmer Canada will be hosting a live demonstration of the picoSpin, the world's first commercial miniature FT-NMR spectrometer. Two demonstrations are scheduled, one in Montreal on October 4th, 2011 and one in Toronto on October 5th. There is no cost to attend the event, and complimentary snacks and beverages will be served. Please contact Roberto Santana at 514-355-6100 ext. 250 or (rsantana "at" coleparmer.ca) for more information and to reserve your spot.
If there will be enough interest, an additional demonstration is possible...
