Several methods for fragment screening available: X-ray crystallography is one of them

Crystallographic fragment screening is now a straig htforward & user-friendly experiment

• Can cover hits not identified by other methods [1-3]
• Identifies several binding sites on the target (protein)
• Yields binding information at atomic level
• Allows structure-guided fragment evolution towardshigh (nM) affinity binders
