Cation–π interactions in CREBBP bromodomain inhibition - an electrostatic model for small molecule binding affinity and selectivity

CREBBP bromodomains, epigenetic “reader” proteins that recognize acetylated histone lysine residues, are a current target for cancer therapy. We show that experimental CREBBP binding affinities of small-molecules with aromatic or heteroaromatic functional groups are strongly influenced by a cation–π...
