Structure- and ligand-based virtual screening identifies new scaffolds for inhibitors of the oncoprotein MDM2.

A major challenge in the field of ligand discovery is to identify chemically useful fragments that can be developed into inhibitors of specific protein-protein interactions. Low molecular weight fragments (with molecular weight less than 250 Da) are likely to bind weakly to a protein's surface....
