Structure-Based Optimization of Covalent, Small-Molecule Stabilizers of the 14-3-3?/ER? Protein–Protein Interaction from Nonselective Fragments

Covalent Modifiers

3c05161 The stabilization of protein–protein interactions (PPIs) has emerged as a promising strategy in chemical biology and drug discovery. Here, we show the structure-based optimization of the nonselective fragment toward selective and highly potent small-molecule stabilizers of the 14-3-3σ/ERα complex.

The unique reactivity profile of the 1,2-aminothiol moiety of N -terminal cysteines ( N -Cys) of proteins renders it highly attractive for regioselective protein labelling.

Target-directed cancer: protein-ligand interactions  

Drug Target Review

Could you provide an overview of your research on target directed cancer drug discovery, particularly your focus on protein lagging interactions. I work in the Centre for Cancer Drug Discovery (CCDD) at The Institute of Cancer Research in London, which is an academic drug discovery centre. 2013) 56, 2059-2073.
