Room-temperature X-ray fragment screening with serial crystallography.

ABSTRACT: Structural insights into protein-ligand interactions are essential for advancing drug development, with macromolecular X-ray crystallography being a cornerstone technique. Commonly X-ray data collection is conducted at cryogenic temperatures to mitigate radiation damage effects. However, this can introduce artifacts not only in the protein conformation but also in protein-ligand interactions. Recent studies highlight the advantages of room-temperature (RT) crystallography in capturing relevant states much closer to physiological temperatures. We have advanced fixed-target serial crystallography to enable high-throughput fragment screening at RT. Here we systematically compare RT fragment screening of the Fosfomycin-resistance protein A from Klebsiella pneumoniae (FosAKP), an enzyme involve
