Target-directed cancer: protein-ligand interactions  

Drug Target Review

With a structural technique such as X-ray crystallography we provide pictures of our inhibitors bound to their protein targets to help inform our computational and medicinal chemists in the design of improved inhibitors which is an iterative and very creative process.

Variability in biological activity measurements reported in the drug discovery literature

Molecular Design

I’ve discussed limitations of correlation-based metrics for assessment compatibility of assays in the preceding paragraph. I generally advise against binning continuous data prior to assessment of correlations because the operation discards information and the values of the correlation metrics vary with the scheme used to bin the data.]

Obstacles and innovations of macrocyclic drug development

Drug Target Review

18 Given the challenges around macrocycle flexibility, obtaining structural information on both macrocycles and target proteins is essential to understanding binding conformations and affinities. Additionally, this field is supported by industry trends towards a more multi- and interdisciplinary approach.
