Target guided synthesis using DNA nano-templates for selectively assembling a G-quadruplex binding c-MYC inhibitor

Identification of inhibitors can be accelerated by using the target as a template for ligand formation. Here the authors show that DNA-functionalised magnetic nanoparticles guide templating of G-quadruplex bindingc-MYCinhibitors from an array of building blocks, and can be isolated by magnetic decan...

Description
Summary:Identification of inhibitors can be accelerated by using the target as a template for ligand formation. Here the authors show that DNA-functionalised magnetic nanoparticles guide templating of G-quadruplex bindingc-MYCinhibitors from an array of building blocks, and can be isolated by magnetic decanting.
