• The essential feature of FBLD is that the start- ing point for discovery is a small (MM < 250 Da) compound, with binding usually detected by a bio- physical method; subsequent, usually structure‐ guided, evolution of the fragment generates a hit compound that registers in an assay and can be opti- mized by conventional (predominantly structure‐ guided) medicinal chemistry. 

  • In the synthesis of remdesivir, the organometallic C-glycosylation step was identified as a limitation for the large-scale production, requiring long addition periods and cryogenic temperatures. 

  • Fluorine has many beneficial features and applications but can cause toxicity at high doses. Herein, we describe its chemical properties and benefits to agrochemical design as well as potential metabolic liabilities and exposure assessment in vivo.

     

  • Diazirine-based PALs are an extremely powerful proteomic tool; whether to study protein-substrate interactions in their native setting, probe complex biological pathways, or for target identification in the future development of active pharmaceutical agents.
