Abstract:
Fragment screening is widely used to provide useful starting points for drug discovery. There are many methods that are used today for conducting fragment-based screens. and fragment libraries vary widely in size. In this perspective, I discuss the method that I use for fragment screening and the size of my fragment library, the reasons for these choices, and provide an example that illustrates the advantages.
