[NMR paper] Early-stage structure-based drug discovery for small GTPases by NMR spectroscopy
Early-stage structure-based drug discovery for small GTPases by NMR spectroscopy
Small GTPase or Ras superfamily, including Ras, Rho, Rab, Ran and Arf, are fundamental in regulating a wide range of cellular processes such as growth, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. They share structural and functional similarities for binding guanine nucleotides and hydrolyzing GTP. Dysregulations of Ras proteins are involved in the pathophysiology of multiple human diseases, however there is still a stringent need for effective treatments targeting these proteins. For decades,...

Revisiting biomolecular NMR spectroscopy for promoting small-molecule drug discovery
Abstract
Recently, there has been increasing interest in new modalities such as therapeutic antibodies and gene therapy at a number of pharmaceutical companies. Moreover, in small-molecule drug discovery at such companies, efforts have focused on hard-to-drug targets such as inhibiting proteinâ??protein interactions. Biomolecular NMR spectroscopy has been used in drug discovery in a variety of ways, such as for the reliable detection of binding and providing...

Authors: Krimm I
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...

Application of NMR and Molecular Docking in Structure-Based Drug Discovery.
Top Curr Chem. 2011 Sep 14;
Authors: Stark JL, Powers R
Abstract
Drug discovery is a complex and costly endeavor, where few drugs that reach the clinical testing phase make it to market. High-throughput screening (HTS) is the primary method used by the pharmaceutical industry to identify initial lead compounds. Unfortunately, HTS has a high failure rate and is not particularly efficient at...
