Abstract
Modulation of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) with small molecules has been hampered by a lack of lucid methods capable of reliably identifying high-quality hits. In fragment screening, the low ligand efficiencies associated with PPI target sites pose significant challenges to fragment binding detection. Here, we investigate the requirements for ligand-based NMR techniques to detect rule-of-three compliant fragments that form part of known high-affinity inhibitors of the PPI between the von Hippel-Lindau protein and the alpha subunit of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (pVHL:HIF-1?). Careful triaging allowed rescuing weak but specific binding of fragments that would otherwise escape detection at this PPI. Further structural information provided by saturation transfer difference (STD) group epitope mapping, protein-based NMR, competitive isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and X-ray crystallography confirmed the binding mode of the rescued fragments. Our findings have important implications for PPI druggability assessment by fragment screening as they reveal an accessible threshold for fragment detection and validation.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is well suited to probing the interactions between ligands and macromolecular receptors. It is a truly label-free technique, requiring only the presence of atoms (usually (1)H or (19)F) which give rise to observable resonances on either the ligand or the receptor. A number of parameters associated with these resonances can...

High-throughput screening of libraries containing compounds of 'drug-like' molecular weight has frequently resulted in no or poor drug candidates, especially when screening against demanding drug targets such as protein-protein interactions. Fragment-based lead discovery and optimization has evolved as a...
