Abstract
We report a quantitative proteomics data analysis pipeline which, coupled to protein-directed dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DDC) experiments, enables the rapid discovery and direct characterization of protein-protein interaction (PPI) modulators. A low-affinity PD-1 binder was incubated with a library of >100 D-peptides under thiol-exchange favoring conditions, in the presence of the target protein PD-1, and we determined the S-linked dimeric species that resulted amplified in the protein samples versus the controls. We chemically synthesized the target dimer candidates and validated them by thermophoresis binding and protein-protein interaction assays. The results provide a proof-of-concept for using this strategy in the high-throughput search of improved drug-like peptide binders that block therapeutically relevant protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
Molecular self-assembly has been widely used to develop nanocarriers for drug delivery. However, most of them have unsatisfactory drug loading capacity (DLC) and the dilemma between stimuli-responsiveness and stability, stagnating their translational process. Herein, we overcame these drawbacks using dynamic combinatorial chemistry. A carrier molecule was spontaneously and quantitatively synthesized, aided by co-self-assembly with a template molecule and an anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) from a dynamic combinatorial library that was operated by disulfide exchange under thermodynamic control. The highly selective synthesis guaranteed a stable yet pH- and redox- responsive nanocarrier with a maximized DLC of 40.1 % and an enhanced drug potency to fight DOX resistance in vitro and in vivo. Our findings suggested that harnessing the interplay between synthesis and self-assembly in complex chemical systems could yield functional nanomaterials for advanced applications.

Abstract
The reversibility of imine bonds has been exploited to great effect in the field of dynamic covalent chemistry, with applications such as preparation of functional systems, dynamic materials, molecular machines, and covalent organic frameworks. However, acid catalysis is commonly needed for efficient equilibration of imine mixtures. Herein, it is demonstrated that hydrogen bond donors such as thioureas and squaramides can catalyze the equilibration of dynamic imine systems under unprecedentedly mild conditions. Catalysis occurs in a range of solvents and in the presence of many sensitive additives, showing moderate to good rate accelerations for both imine metathesis and transimination with amines, hydrazines, and hydroxylamines. Furthermore, the catalyst proved simple to immobilize, introducing both reusability and extended control of the equilibration process.

Abstract
Kinetic target-guided synthesis represents an efficient hit-identification strategy, in which the protein assembles its own inhibitors from a pool of complementary building blocks via an irreversible reaction. Herein, we pioneered an in situ Ugi reaction for the identification of novel inhibitors of a model enzyme and binders for an important drug target, namely, the aspartic protease endothiapepsin and the bacterial β-sliding clamp DnaN, respectively. Highly sensitive mass-spectrometry methods enabled monitoring of the protein-templated reaction of four complementary reaction partners, which occurred in a background-free manner for endothiapepsin or with a clear amplification of two binders in the presence of DnaN. The Ugi products we identified show low micromolar activity on endothiapepsin or moderate affinity for the β-sliding clamp. We succeeded in expanding the portfolio of chemical reactions and biological targets and demonstrated the efficiency and sensitivity of this approach, which can find application on any drug target.

Abstract
Dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) is a powerful tool to identify bioactive compounds. This efficient technique allows the target to select its own binders and circumvents the need for synthesis and biochemical evaluation of all individual derivatives. An ever-increasing number of publications report the use of DCC on biologically relevant target proteins. This minireview complements previous reviews by focusing on the experimental protocol and giving detailed examples of essential steps and factors that need to be considered, such as protein stability, buffer composition and cosolvents.

Abstract
Stacking interactions can be important enthalpic contributors to drug binding. Among the less well-studied stacking interactions are those occurring between an arene and the π-face of an amide group. Given the ubiquity of heterocycles in drugs, combined with the abundance of amides in the protein backbone, optimizing these noncovalent interactions can provide a potential route to enhanced drug binding. Previously, Diederich et al. (ChemMedChem 2013, 8, 397-404) studied stacked dimers of a model amide with a set of 18 heterocycles, showing that computed interaction energies correlate with the dipole moments of the heterocycles and providing guidelines for the optimization of these interactions. We considered stacked dimers of the same model amide with a larger set of 28 heterocycles common in pharmaceuticals, by using more robust ab initio methods. While the overall trends in these new data corroborate many of the results of Diederich et al., these data provide a more refined view of the nature of amide stacking interactions. We present a robust scoring function for amide stacking interaction energies based on the molecular dipole moment and strength of the electric field above the arene.

Abstract
AbstractProteintemplat‐gesteuerte Fragmentligationen sind ein neuartiges Konzept zur Unterstützung der Wirkstofffindung und können dazu beitragen, die Wirksamkeit von Proteinliganden zu verbessern. Es handelt sich dabei um chemische Reaktionen zwischen niedermolekularen Verbindungen (“Fragmenten”), die die Oberfläche eines Proteins als Reaktionsgefäß verwenden, um die Bildung eines Proteinliganden mit erhöhter Bindungsaffinität zu katalysieren. Die Methode nutzt die molekulare Erkennung kleiner reaktiver Fragmente durch die Proteine sowohl zur Assemblierung der Liganden als auch zur Identifizierung bioaktiver Fragmentkombinationen. Chemische Synthese und Bioassay werden dabei in einem Schritt vereint. Dieser Aufsatz diskutiert die biophysikalischen Grundlagen der reversiblen und irreversiblen Fragmentligationen und gibt einen Überblick über die Methoden, mit denen die durch das Proteintemplat gebildeten Ligationsprodukte detektiert werden können. Der chemische Reaktionsraum und aktuelle Anwendungen wie auch die Bedeutung dieses Konzeptes für die Wirkstofffindung werden erörtert.

Abstract
Protein-templated fragment ligation is a novel concept to support drug discovery and can help to improve the efficacy of protein ligands. Protein-templated fragment ligations are chemical reactions between small molecules ("fragments") utilizing a protein's surface as a reaction vessel to catalyze the formation of a protein ligand with increased binding affinity. The approach exploits the molecular recognition of reactive small-molecule fragments by proteins both for ligand assembly and for the identification of bioactive fragment combinations. In this way, chemical synthesis and bioassay are integrated in one single step. This Review discusses the biophysical basis of reversible and irreversible fragment ligations and gives an overview of the available methods to detect protein-templated ligation products. The chemical scope and recent applications as well as future potential of the concept in drug discovery are reviewed.

Abstract
There is an urgent need for the development of efficient methodologies that accelerate drug discovery. We demonstrate that the strategic combination of fragment linking/optimization and protein-templated click chemistry is an efficient and powerful method that accelerates the hit-identification process for the aspartic protease endothiapepsin. The best binder, which inhibits endothiapepsin with an IC50 value of 43 μm, represents the first example of triazole-based inhibitors of endothiapepsin. Our strategy could find application on a whole range of drug targets.
