The secret of success in drug discovery written by the pioneers in the field with unrivaled experience in fragment-based methods.
In this handbook, the first-hand knowledge imparted by the world’s leading experts provides a comprehensive overview of current methods and applications of fragment-based discovery. The first part discusses basic considerations concerning when to use such methods, how to select targets, and how to build libraries in the chemical fragment space. The second part describes established, novel, and emerging techniques for fragment screening, including empirical as well as computational approaches, while also discussing such special cases as complex target systems and covalent inhibitors. The third and final part presents a number of successful real-world studies from recent and on-going drug discovery projects relating to a variety of target classes, from kinases and phosphatases to beta-secretase and epigenetic targets.
With its discussion of future developments and potential novel applications, this will remain a valuable reference source for years to come.

Daniel A. Erlanson is the co-founder and President of Carmot Therapeutics, Inc., which is developing fragment-based approaches to address unmet needs in drug discovery. Prior to Carmot, Dr. Erlanson worked in medicinal chemistry and technology development at Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, which he joined at the company’s inception. Before Sunesis, he was an NIH postdoctoral fellow with Dr. James A. Wells at Genentech. Dr. Erlanson earned his Ph.D. in chemistry from Harvard University in the laboratory of Gregory L. Verdine and his BA in chemistry from Carleton College. He edits a blog devoted to fragment-based drug discovery, Practical Fragments.
Wolfgang Jahnke is a Director and Leading Scientist at the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research in Basel, Switzerland. His major interests are Structural Biophysics and Fragment-based Drug Discovery. He has received several honors, among them the Industrial Investigator Award from the Swiss Chemical Society, and several Novartis-internal Awards. Dr. Jahnke received his Ph D from the TU München, working with Horst Kessler on the development and application of novel NMR methods. Prior to joining Novartis, he worked with Peter Wright at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla.
