Drug design from the cryptic inhibitor envelope

The conformational dynamics of a compound has a large effect on ligand/receptor binding. Here, the authors employ NMR spectroscopy to study ligand binding to the enzyme LpxC, discovering an inhibitor envelope that was not identifiable by crystallography and subsequently developing a highly potent in...
