Discovery of RNA Targeting Small Molecules – Our Toolbox for RNA Drug Discovery
Drug Discovery Chemistry Conference 2023
WuXi AppTec has developed technologies to facilitate RNA small molecule screening, an exciting frontier in drug discovery. SHAPE-MaP is applied to determine RNA structure and dynamics and verify small molecule binding. We utilize the “DNA-Zipper” strategy to enable DNA-encoded libraries to identify RNA binders. With other technologies including fragment-based drug screening and ASMS, we offer multiple platforms to screen RNA targets where binders can be validated by various orthogonal assays.
