Design and Synthesis of Small Molecule Probes of MDA-9/Syntenin.
MDA-9/Syntenin, a key scaffolding protein and a molecular hub involved in a diverse range of cell signaling responses, has proved to be a challenging target for the design and discovery of small molecule probes. In this paper, we report on the design and synthesis of small molecule ligands of this key protein. Genetic algorithm-based computational design and the five-eight step synthesis of three molecules led to ligands with affinities in the range of 1-3 µM, a 20-60-fold improvement over literature reports. The design and synthesis strategies, coupled with the structure-dependent gain or loss in affinity, afford the deduction of principles that should guide the design of advanced probes of MDA-9/Syntenin.

期刊介绍:
Biomolecules (ISSN 2218-273X) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal focusing on biogenic substances and their biological functions, structures, interactions with other molecules, and their microenvironment as well as biological systems. Biomolecules publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
