ABSTRACT

Fragment-based lead detection using NMR spectroscopic methods have proven to be an effective approach to drug discovery.  In the past decade, we have developed a set of software tools aimed at streamlining the data analysis and management involved in the whole workflow.  We are proud to present the following tools:

  1. Batch processing tools for quality control of the library compounds by structure verification and solubility test using 1D NMR, and saving such spectral and structural information to a database.
  2. Tools for pooling compounds with minimum 1H or 19F peak overlap within the region of interest.
  3. Batch processing tools for analyzing 1D ligand-observed screening data, such as STD, T1rho, CPMG and WaterLogsy, and giving a list of hits.
  4. Batch processing tools for analyzing 2D protein-observed screening data, such as 1H-15N or 1H-13C HSQC, and giving a list of hits.
  5. Batch processing tools for analyzing 2D protein-observed titration data, and giving a list of chemical shift perturbation and Kd values.

Who should attend?

– Structural biologists and NMR specialists in Pharma industry.
– Researchers in structural biology and drug design.
