ABSTRACT
Here, we describe a novel workflow combining informatic and experimental approaches to enable evidence-based prioritising of targets from large sets in parallel. High-throughput protein production and biophysical fragment screening is used to identify those targets that are tractable and ligandable. As proof of concept we have applied this to a set of antibacterial targets comprising 146 essential genes. Of these targets, 51 were selected and 38 delivered results that allowed us to rank them by ligandability. The data obtained against these derisked targets have enabled rapid progression into structurally enabled drug discovery projects, demonstrating the practical value of the fragment-based target screening workflow.
