Researchers in the laboratory of UCSF School of Pharmacy faculty member Nadav Ahituv, PhD, study the roles of gene regulatory elements—DNA segments that tell genes when, where, and to what extent to turn on and off—including in human conditions ranging from limb malformations to epilepsy and autism.

Fragment-based discovery: using smaller molecules to solve larger challenges

Thu Mar 24, 2016

ChemMedChem, 28 JAN 2016

Protease enzymes of the Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV Pr) require two monomer proteins to combine into a dimer in order to activate. Dotted black box is the protein-protein interface targeted for disruption by Craik Lab researchers. (Colored balls represent amino acids—methionines—labeled to help determine if screened fragments inhibit dimerization.)

To discover new drugs and chemical probes, researchers have traditionally screened small molecules—small enough by weight to pass through cell membranes.
