We describe the use of a furanyl salicyl nitroxide derivative ('spin-labeled' compound), as a paramagnetic phosphotyrosine mimetic, to carry out a second-site screening by NMR against the PTPase YopH from Yersinia pestis. Using such a fragment-based screening approach we identified several small molecules targeting YopH that bind at sites adjacent to the spin-labeled compound. These second-site fragments were subsequently used to design and synthesize bidentate YopH inhibitors with submicromolar ...[more]
