Abstract
Allosteric drugs present many advantages over orthosteric drugs and represent therefore an attractive approach in drug discovery, yet highly challenging. First, the binding of ligands in protein allosteric pockets do not ensure allosteric effect and second, allosteric ligands can possess diverse modes of pharmacology even within a compound family. Here we report a new method (1) to detect allosteric communication between protein binding sites and (2) to compare the effect of allosteric ligands on the allosteric transitions of the protein target. The method, illustrated with the Glycogen Phosphorylase protein, consists in comparing 1D NMR STD spectra of a molecule spy (here fragments) in the absence and presence of allosteric ligands. The modification of the STD spectrum of the fragment indicates whether the protein dynamics/conformations have been changed in the presence of the allosteric modulator, therefore highlighting allosteric coupling between the binding pocket of the reference compound (here the fragment) and the allosteric pocket.

Protein-templated fragment ligations - from molecular recognition to drug discovery
The understanding and manipulation of molecular recognition events is the key to modern approaches in drug discovery. Protein-templated fragment ligation is a novel concept to support drug discovery and can help to improve the efficacy of already existing protein ligands. Protein-templated fragment ligations are chemical reactions between small molecules ("fragments") that utilize a protein“s surface as a template to combine and to form a protein ligand with increased binding affinity. The...

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...

The field of NMR spectroscopy has grown beyond expectations from the first historic observation of nuclear magnetic resonance in 1946 by Bloch and Purcell, to the first generation of protein structures 20 years ago, to the present where NMR structures now represent 15 to 20% of those submitted to the Protein Data Bank (PDB). However, the applications of NMR go far...

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...

NMR methods in drug discovery have traditionally been used to obtain structural information for drug targets or target-ligand complexes. Recently, it has been shown that NMR may be used as an alternative approach for identification of ligands that bind to protein drug targets, shifting the emphasis...
