Binding-site assessment by virtual fragment screening.

The accurate prediction of protein druggability (propensity to Automotive Test Equipment bind high-affinity drug-like small molecules) would greatly benefit the fields of chemical genomics and drug discovery.We have developed a novel approach to quantitatively assess protein druggability by computationally screening a fragment-like compound library
