Identification and structure solution of fragment hits against kinetoplastid N-myristoyltransferase

N-Myristoyltransferase (NMT) has been shown to be an attractive target for the development of novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of human African trypanosomiasis. A fragment library has been screened using NMR spectroscopy and the binding mode of the hits was confirmed by X-ray crystallogra...
