The Nature of Nanodisc Lipids Influences Fragment‐Based Drug Discovery Results

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) was applied to cytochrome P450 3A4 reconstituted in Nanodiscs (NDs) with various lipid compositions. The choice of ND lipid influenced drug membrane interactions and fragment hit rates, demonstrating the critical role of the membrane environment in fragment screening for membrane proteins. ABSTRACT Membrane proteins (MPs) are important yet challenging targets for drug discovery.

Rational Design of Stapled Covalent Peptide Modifiers of Oncoprotein E6 from Human Papillomavirus

Covalent Modifiers

ACS Chem. Biol. 2025 [link] Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is linked to multiple cancers, most significantly cervical cancer, for which HPV infection is associated with nearly all cases. Essential to the oncogenesis of HPV is the function of the viral protein E6 and its role in degrading the cell cycle regulator p53. Degradation of p53, and the resultant loss of cell cycle control, is mediated by E6 recruitment of the E3 ubiquitin ligase E6AP and subsequent ubiquitination of p53.
