We report 17 small-molecule ligands that compete with <i>N6</i>-methyladenosine (m<sup>6</sup>A) for binding to the m<sup>6</sup>A-reader domain of YTHDF2 (YT521-B homology domain family 2). We determined their binding mode at high resolution by X-ray crystallography and quantified their affinity by a fluorescence-based binding assay. 6-Cyclopropyluracil and a pyrazolopyrimidine derivative have favorable ligand efficiencies of 0.47 and 0.38 kcal mol<sup>-1</sup> per non-hydrogen atom, respective ...[more]
