摘要
Fragment-based drug design capitalizes on the modular binding of low-molecular-weight, low-affinity ligands. However, the deconstruction of lead-like inhibitors into putative fragments reveals the surprising complexity of dealing with low-affinity leads, thereby challenging oversimplification of these leads and highlighting the richness of their chemical diversity and molecular recognition.
