Advancements in hit identification for membrane protein drug discovery

Drug Target Review

Advancements in screening technologies for small-molecule drug discovery including cellular assays, computational screening, and biophysics-based methods enhanced by structural biology breakthroughs have improved screening hit rates and facilitated the identification of drug candidates for previously undruggable targets.

Target-directed cancer: protein-ligand interactions  

Drug Target Review

So that is a wide range of techniques to look at the protein-ligand interactions, all with the aim to guide the optimisation of our first screening hits to potent inhibitors that hopefully are cell-active at some point. You need to be resilient because science is difficult and things will fail.
