Abstract

Looking for fragments: A fragment-based screen using NMR spectroscopy was applied to discover ligands that bind to the GTPase K-Ras and modulate the activity of the nucleotide exchange factor Sos. Structural data on how these fragment-derived hits bind to the guanosine diphosphate–K-Ras complex (see picture) provides a starting point for the future discovery of drugs that target K-Ras activation and signaling.

  • Recently, three studies used similar fragment-based small molecule screening to identify compounds that bind sites on the K-Ras surface and block its SOS-mediated activation.

    “Recently, three studies used similar fragment-based small molecule screening to identify compounds that bind sites on the K-Ras surface and block its SOS-mediated activation24–26 suggesting the approach has some promise.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
