Was great to celebrate the end of year with our fantastic University of Adelaide Master of Biotechnology (Biomedical) Students last month! Pizza (lots), games and a beautiful afternoon. Congrats to Shreetha and Araniyah who were announced as joint prizewinners.

Super-chuffed to learn our paper was highlighted in Derek Lowe’s β€˜In the Pipeline’ Drug Discovery blog – wonderful to hear his thoughts and so good to know he enjoyed the paper! #DrugDiscovery #Fragments @UofA_SET

@apthompson11 So, what's the takeaway? πŸ€” Remember, compounds can react and transform under your assay conditions. βš—οΈ You might be measuring the activity of a completely different molecule! (🧡7/8).

@apthompson11 Surprisingly, the hydrolysed compound turned out to be a game-changer. With a few small tweaks, we created a potent nanomolar ligand!πŸ”¬(#MedChem #StructureBasedDrugDesign #DrugDiscovery (🧡 6/8)

@apthompson11 Detective hats went on! πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ After some sleuthing, we uncovered the unexpected: the original compound was hydrolysing in the crystal-soaking conditions! (Much credit here to the not-on-Twitter Birgit Gaiser for figuring out the chemistry!)πŸ’§πŸ” (🧡5/8)

And here's where it gets REALLY interesting: one compound's electron density didn't match the molecule we put in! πŸ€”It was a crystal-soaking enigma. πŸ§ͺ β„οΈπŸ§©(Kudos to @apthompson11 for some fantastic #ProteinCrystallography work) (🧡 4/8)
