Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying Interactions that Determine Fragment Binding at Protein Hotspots.
Chris J Radoux,Tjelvar S. G. Olsson,Tjelvar S. G. Olsson,William R. Pitt,Colin R. Groom,Tom L. Blundell +5 more
TL;DR: A method that samples atomic hotspots with simple molecular probes to produce fragment hotspot maps that provide an intuitive visual guide within the binding site, directing medicinal chemists where to grow the molecule and alerting them to suboptimal interactions within the original hit.
Journal ArticleDOI
The good, the bad and the twisted: a survey of ligand geometry in protein crystal structures
TL;DR: An analysis of the geometry of ligands bound to proteins is presented and the role of small molecule crystal structures is highlighted in enabling molecular modellers to critically evaluate a ligand model’s quality and investigate protein-induced strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
IRAK-4 inhibitors. Part II: a structure-based assessment of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine binding.
George M. Buckley,Thomas A. Ceska,Joanne L. Fraser,Lewis Gowers,Colin R. Groom,Alicia P. Higueruelo,Kerry Jenkins,Stephen Robert Mack,Trevor Morgan,David M. Parry,William R. Pitt,Oliver Rausch,Marianna D. Richard,Verity Margaret Sabin +13 more
TL;DR: A potent IRAK-4 inhibitor was identified through routine project cross screening and the binding mode was inferred using a combination of in silico docking into an IRAK -4 homology model, surrogate crystal structure analysis and chemical analogue SAR.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Cambridge Structural Database in Retrospect and Prospect
Colin R. Groom,Frank H. Allen +1 more
TL;DR: The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) as discussed by the authors was established in 1965 to record numerical, chemical and bibliographic data relating to published organic and metal-organic crystal structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The hydrogen bond environments of 1H-tetrazole and tetrazolate rings: the structural basis for tetrazole-carboxylic acid bioisosterism.
Frank H. Allen,Colin R. Groom,John W. Liebeschuetz,David A. Bardwell,Tjelvar S. G. Olsson,Peter A. Wood +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of pairs of PDB structures containing ligands which differ only in having a tetrazole or a carboxyl substituent and which are bound to the same protein indicates that the protein binding site must flex sufficiently to form strong H-bonds to either substituents.
