Abstract
Looking for fragments: A fragment‐based screen using NMR spectroscopy was applied to discover ligands that bind to the GTPase K‐Ras and modulate the activity of the nucleotide exchange factor Sos. Structural data on how these fragment‐derived hits bind to the guanosine diphosphate–K‐Ras complex (see picture) provides a starting point for the future discovery of drugs that target K‐Ras activation and signaling.
