VERWENDUNG VON KERNSPINRESONANZ ZUR AUFFINDUNG VON LIGANDEN FÜR BINDUNGSMOLEKÜLE

摘要

A method for designing and forming a ligand which binds to a specific target molecule comprises the steps of: (a) identifying a first ligand moiety that binds to the target molecule using two-dimensional <15>N/<1>H NMR correlation spectroscopy; (b) identifying subsequent ligand moieties that bind to the target molecule using two-dimensional <15>N/<1>H NMR correlation spectroscopy; (c) forming a complex of the first and subsequent ligand moieties to the target molecule; (d) determining the three-dimensional structure of the complex and, thus, the spatial orientation of the first and subsequent ligand moieties on the target molecule; and (e) linking the first and subsequent ligand moieties to form a new ligand to maintain the spatial orientation of the ligand moieties.
