Abstract
We describe a drug-design strategy termed REPLACE (REplacement with Partial Ligand Alternatives through Computational Enrichment) in which nonpeptidic surrogates for specific determinants of known peptide ligands are identified in silico by using a core peptide-bound protein structure as a design anchor. In the REPLACE application example, we present the effective replacement of two critical binding motifs in a lead protein-protein interaction inhibitor pentapeptide with more druglike phenyltriazole and diphenyl ether groups. These were identified through docking of fragment libraries into the volume of the cyclin-binding groove of CDK2/cyclin A vacated through truncation of the inhibitor peptide-binding determinants. Proof of concept for this strategy was obtained through the generation of potent peptide-small-molecule hybrids and by the confirmation of inhibitor-binding modes in X-ray crystal structures. This method therefore allows nonpeptide fragments to be identified without the requirement for a high-sensitivity binding assay and should be generally applicable in replacing amino acids as individual residues or groups in peptide inhibitors to generate pharmaceutically acceptable lead molecules.

Full text Abstract
Figure 2.
Figure 2. Richardson Diagram of the Overlay of Active and Inactive apo-CDK2
(A) Active apo-CDK2 is shown in yellow; inactive apo-CDK2 is shown in blue. The differences in the orientation of the N and C domains and in the large movement of the T-loop upon cyclin binding can be observed upon overlay of the active and inactive structures from residues 170–285.
(B) Electron density difference maps (2F[o] − 1F[c]) in the ATP binding site of the CDK2/cyclin A/4 complex.

Figure 3. Crystal Structures of Ligands 1 and 4 Bound in Active and Inactive CDK2
(A–C) The overlay shown is residues 77–143 of the same inhibitor (yellow, active; blue, inactive) and with the substituted aniline derivative 4 (yellow) bound in (B) monomeric CDK2 (green) and (C) active (pink) CDK2.
