    2. However, for compound libraries witheven smaller compounds (about five to seven non-hydrogenatoms) higher hit rates were reported

      the smaller the fragment, the higher the hit rate. the purpose of different fragment libraries are different, both want to identify hot spots, and Reilly wanted to help MedChem optimization

    1. During the fragment hit-to-lead process, we typically synthesize 50–100 compounds to increase the binding affinity from millimolar to nanomolar, and we routinely generate multiple lead series for each target

      50-100 compounds from millimolar to nanomolar, that is too successful, 10^6 increase

    2. emphasizing X-ray crystallography.

      emphasizing X-ray is Astex's way

    3. the most potent fragment is often not the best starting point for hit-to-lead chemistry.

      a good lession: the most potent hit may not be the best starting point for further optimization.

    4. Although better cross-validation would provide increased confidence in fragment hits, there is a danger that this may also result in the systematic selection of more potent hits,

      this is a dilemma, if you expect a hit to be validated in both NMR and X-ray, you are actually expect a stronger binder.

    5. great importance should be placed on accurately characterizing the solubility of a fragment library

      for X-ray screening, solubility must be good enough. what is the cutoff?

    6. observe a correlation of 30–40% using these two techniques.

      only 30~40% correlation between X-ray and ligand observed NMR

    7. use ligand-observed NMR

      Does "ligand observed NMR" equal to "ligand 1D-NMR"

    8. Another area of active debate centres on the lack of correlation of fragment hits obtained using different detection techniques

      I have not notice this before, which reflects my lack of FBDD experiences.

    9. that current fragment libraries are largely composed of ‘flat structures’

      flat structures are not good enough for some protein targest?

    10. our results support the view that less complex molecules give a higher hit rat

    1. We did not use the YAP peptides containing residues in interface1 because it has been shown that interface 1 is dispensable forYAP binding

      this is strange, as the YAP interface 1 segment is a beta strand, which forms multiple Hbond with TEAD. So how could it be dispensable for TEAD binding?

    2. YAP peptide

      what is the sequence of the peptide? it might be the peptide 1 in Fig 1D, which shows the strongest binding to TEAD, ~ 200 nM. Peptide 1 contains just the alpha helix and omega loop, so it is possible that the FA binding will affect the beta strand part which is missing in peptide 1

    3. The central pocket of TEADs has an excellent druggabilityscore

      what is the score? calculated by which software the author probably used Schrodinger Sitemap, although they did not mention. but they used Schrodinger to calculated the strain energy and prepare the protein structure

    4. However, we cannotcompletely rule out the possibility that the second flufenamate-binding site, which is close to the interface-3 region of TEAD,could play a synergistic role in inhibition

      role of binding in omega loop site is not clear

    5. Because we did notobserve the disruption of TEAD-YAP interactions by FA and NAin vitro, it is not clear how flufenamates, such as FA, inhibit theTEAD-YAP-mediated gene expression.

      discrepency between in vitro binding and in vitro cellular assays is not addressed by the author

    1. After discussion with Xiao, I believe the tetramer hypothesis of TAZ-TEAD is not correct. Reasons:

      1. There are two TAZ-TEAD binding modes in the structure, 5gn0. And one is similar to the canonical YAP-TEAD structure, albeit TAZ has shorter loop between the alpha helix and omega loop.
      2. the CoIP result just shows that TAZ can form homodimer, which is induced by its coiled-coil segment. And such coiled-coil segament is far from the TEAD binding domain.
