Structure-based evolution of a promiscuous inhibitor to a selective stabilizer of protein–protein interactions

Small molecule stabilizers of protein–protein interactions hold great therapeutic potential. Based on virtual screening and molecular docking, the authors here develop a strategy to evolve weak, promiscuous inhibitors of 14-3-3 interactions into selective stabilizers of the 14-3-3/ChREBP complex.
