Abstract

Herein we describe a method for the design, purchase, and assembly of a fragment-screening library from a list of commercially available compounds. The computational tools used in assessment of compound properties as well as the workflow for compound selection are provided for reference as implemented in commercially available software that is free and accessible to most academic users. The workflow can be modified as necessary to generate a fit-for-purpose fragment library with the desired compound property profiles. An analytical process for assessing the quality, identity, and suitability of a purchased fragment for inclusion in a screening collection is described. Results from our in-house library are presented as an example of compound progression through this quality control process.
