Abstract
To provide an experimental basis for a comprehensive molecular modeling evaluation study, 500 fragments from the Maybridge fragment library were soaked into crystals of bovine pancreatic trypsin and the structures determined by X-ray crystallography. The soaking experiments were performed in both single and pooled aliquots to determine if combination of fragments is an appropriate strategy. A further set of data was obtained from co-crystallizing the pooled fragments with the protein. X-ray diffraction data were collected on approximately 1000 crystals at the Australian Synchrotron, and these data were subsequently processed, and the preliminary analysis was performed with a custom software application (Jigsaw), which combines available software packages for structure solution and analysis.
