Nonequilibrium capillary electrophoresis of equilibrium mixtures (NECEEM) is a new separation-based affinity method. It has kinetic capabilities exceeding those of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and does not require immobilization of molecules on the surface. Another distinctive feature of NECEEM is that—if it is combined with an advanced method for the mixing solutions inside a capillary, termed transverse diffusion of laminar flow profiles (TDLFP)—it requires only nanoliter volumes of solutions. The proven applications of NECEEM to biomolecular screening include 1) measuring kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of protein-ligand interactions, 2) quantitative affinity analyses of proteins and hybridization analyses of DNA and RNA, and 3) selection of binding ligands from combinatorial libraries. NECEEM is easy to automate and parallelize. Because of its simplicity and analytical power, NECEEM has the potential to become a workhorse in studies of biomolecular interactions. The author reviews theoretical bases of NECEEM and its applications to biomolecular screening.

Solution NMR spectroscopy plays important roles in understanding protein structures, dynamics and protein-protein/ligand interactions. In a target-based drug discovery project, NMR can serve an important function in hit identification and lead optimization. Fluorine is a valuable probe for evaluating protein conformational changes and protein-ligand interactions. Accumulated studies demonstrate that 19F-NMR can play important roles in fragment- based drug discovery (FBDD) and probing protein-ligand interactions. This review summarizes the application of 19F-NMR in understanding protein-ligand interactions and drug discovery. Several examples are included to show the roles of 19F-NMR in confirming identified hits/leads in the drug discovery process. In addition to identifying hits from fluorinecontaining compound libraries, 19F-NMR will play an important role in drug discovery by providing a fast and robust way in novel hit identification. This technique can be used for ranking compounds with different binding affinities and is particularly useful for screening competitive compounds when a reference ligand is available.

Background: Pharmacophore mapping and molecular docking can be synergistically integrated to improve the drug design and discovery process. A rational strategy, combiphore approach, derived from the combined study of Structure and Ligand based pharmacophore has been described to identify novel GPR40 modulators. Methods: DISCOtech module from Discovery studio was used for the generation of the Structure and Ligand based pharmacophore models which gave hydrophobic aromatic, ring aromatic and negative ionizable as essential pharmacophoric features. The generated models were validated by screening active and inactive datasets, GH scoring and ROC curve analysis. The best model was exposed as a 3D query to screen the hits from databases like GLASS (GPCR-Ligand Association), GPCR SARfari and Mini-Maybridge. Various filters were applied to retrieve the hit molecules having good drug-like properties. A known protein structure of hGPR40 (pdb: 4PHU) having TAK-875 as ligand complex was used to perform the molecular docking studies; using SYBYL-X 1.2 software. Results and Conclusion: Clustering both the models gave RMSD of 0.89. Therefore, the present approach explored the maximum features by combining both ligand and structure based pharmacophore models. A common structural motif as identified in combiphore for GPR40 modulation consists of the para-substituted phenyl propionic acid scaffold. Therefore, the combiphore approach, whereby maximum structural information (from both ligand and biological protein) is explored, gives maximum insights into the plausible protein-ligand interactions and provides potential lead candidates as exemplified in this study.
