We also have a second competition funded PhD Position available! This project focuses on the exploration of novel ligand and metal chemistry for the preparation of modular compound libraries. These will then be evaluated as potential antimicrobials. tinyurl.com/Metalloantibioti…

Finally, a community-wide paper @JCIM_JCTC led by @mattschap describing results of CACHE Challenge #1: Targeting the WDR Domain of LRRK2, A Parkinson’s Disease Associated Protein! #compchem #drugdiscovery pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… Here we report the results of the inaugural CACHE challenge in which 23 computational teams each selected up to 100 commercially available compounds that they predicted would bind to the WDR domain of the Parkinson’s disease target LRRK2, a domain with no known ligand and only an apo structure in the PDB. The lack of known binding data and presumably low druggability of the target is a challenge to computational hit finding methods. Of the 1955 molecules predicted by participants in Round 1 of the challenge, 73 were found to bind to LRRK2 in an SPR assay with a KD lower than 150 μM. These 73 molecules were advanced to the Round 2 hit expansion phase, where computational teams each selected up to 50 analogs. Binding was observed in two orthogonal assays for seven chemically diverse series, with affinities ranging from 18 to 140 μM.
