ABSTRACT
Structure-based in-silico screening was carried out for the Syk C-terminal SH2 domain. Fragments that could interact with the pY or pY+1 pockets were selected by our in-silico screening. After tethering two fragments bound to these pockets, we have designed and synthesized new compounds that show favorable interaction with the pY+3 pocket. One such compound, having a cyclohexylmalonic acid moiety identified as a novel potent phosphotyrosyl mimetic, exhibited an affinity comparable to that of the monophosphorylated ligand peptide.
