Summary
Nuclear magnet resonance (NMR) is a powerful technique to detect and characterize the 3D structures, dynamics, and interactions of biomacromolecules. With respect to drug targets, this methodology provides an excellent tool for the identification of small organic molecules that bind weakly to a target macromolecule as fragments of candidate inhibitors. In this presentation, Ratan K. Rai, PhD (Assistant Research Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Indiana University School of Medicine) explains the principles of NMR and its application as a tool for fragment-based drug discovery. Strategies to utilize this approach are described to identify and validate initial hits. The Chemical Genomics Core Facility is equipped with a 600 MHz solution NMR with cryo-probe for the structure elucidation of biomolecules and studies of ligand interactions.
