dc.description.abstractThe drug development process includes several phases and often span over many years. The initial phases are directed towards identifying and validating a potential target. Once a target has been validated, the hit identification and lead discovery process is initiated. This project have been performed on behalf of AstraZeneca and aimed to use x-ray crystallography to screen a compound library to identify fragments that binds to the allosteric pocket of MEK1. The results from this screen have mapped how a library of selected small molecules bound to the allosteric site. In total the campaign yielded 24 bound fragments with a good diversity that probes the entire pocket in a eÿcient way.
