Evaluating methods targeting Protein-Protein Interactions

pharmaphorum

Whereas targets like receptors contain an obvious ligand-binding site for drug molecules to interact with, PPIs comprise a more complex structure. The interface is highly hydrophobic, hence any compounds containing water would be repelled. Current challenges and conventional approaches in targeting PPIs.

Addressing the challenge of salt forms in drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

This has an important knock-on effect if the compound’s MF and MW are calculated algorithmically from the structure diagram, as they may no longer accurately reflect the effective MF value which has been normalised to the version of the salt/hydrate that contains a single molecule of the parent compound. Suppose you want to makeup a 0.1

Can artificial intelligence help craft new medicines?

Drug Discovery World

Here, new bioassay technologies helped testing, but more definite answers were required. Expression patterns, proteomic profiles, bioassay results, and structures could now be captured en masse in normal and disease conditions. The MorCVD database contains all the human proteins that can be potentially involved in heart disease.

Reflecting on PEGS Europe 2023 

Drug Discovery World

The poster shows how the company systematically built and evaluated 17 bispecific designs, including a number of well-utilised formats, in order to find that Fc-containing formats and the placement of scFv can influence the expression dramatically, while discovering that interface stability for heterodimeric constructs is equally important.
