A joint effort between Leiden University’s Professor Ubbink’s lab and ZoBio’s Assay Development and Screening team has advanced fragment-based drug discovery targeting membrane proteins. Supported by a Dutch Research Council (NWO) AES grant, the project utilized protein-lipid nanodiscs to study how lipid composition affects small molecule interactions with the membrane enzyme CYP3A4.
Findings revealed that lipid types significantly influence off-target binding, underscoring the importance of lipid selection in drug screening. This research, published in Chemical Biology and Drug Design, offers valuable insights for developing therapeutics targeting complex membrane proteins
