For initial hit identification in fragment-based drug design, NMR is one of the preferred methods, with the well-established ligand screening experiments T1?, waterLOGSY and STD. Here, we present a new, perfect echo-based experiment with superior binding sensitivity, the PEARLScreen. The sensitivity enhancement is based on longer relaxation delays as well as active exchange broadening, enabled by the perfect echo scheme. This allowed a reduction of the protein concentration by up to one order of...

Determination of Ligand-Binding Affinity (Kd) Using Transverse Relaxation Rate (R2) in the Ligand-Observed 1H NMR Experiment and Applications to Fragment-Based Drug Discovery
High hit rates from initial ligand-observed NMR screening can make it challenging to prioritize which hits to follow up, especially in cases where there are no available crystal structures of these hits bound to the target proteins or other strategies to provide affinity ranking. Here, we report a reproducible, accurate, and versatile quantitative ligand-observed NMR assay, which can determine K(d) values of fragments...

[NMR paper] (19)F NMR viewed through two different lenses: ligand-observed and protein-observed (19)F NMR applications for fragment-based drug discovery
(19)F NMR viewed through two different lenses: ligand-observed and protein-observed (19)F NMR applications for fragment-based drug discovery
^(19)F NMR has emerged as a powerful tool in drug discovery, particularly in fragment-based screens. The favorable magnetic resonance properties of the fluorine-19 nucleus, the general absence of fluorine in biological settings, and its ready incorporation into both small molecules and biopolymers, has enabled multiple applications of ^(19)F NMR using labeled small molecules and proteins in biophysical, biochemical, and cellular experiments. This...
