COVER
Molecular recognition of protein targets by organic molecules is influenced by three-dimensional shape complementarity. As illustrated in thecover photograph, increasingly complex binding pockets may be better approached with small molecules possessing structural complexity inthe chemical core and diversity in appending groups. Products of diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) possess these attributes, and may befurther biased toward specific protein families by appending reactive functional groups. Recently, Schreiber and colleagues reported thedevelopment of potent, selective inhibitors of histone deacetylase isoforms by biasing DOS macrocycles using metal-binding chemical features(Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2011 May 1;21(9):2601-5). This strategy may be applicable to many other targets of interest in ligand discovery.Photograph by Richard Oakley and James Bradner (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA).
