Key Things This Month (please add if you'd like to focus on something
1) Finalising targets from the "Fixed Core" project after generation of focussed Enamine-able libraries by @toluene44
2) Update from @TomkUCL and Geoff Wells re Nsp13 MD simulations
3) Brief update on status of Nsp13 campaigns/assays by @ahsgc or @toluene44 (if available for meeting).
Agenda and Actions Arising:
Synthetic Chemistry
[ ] @TomkUCL to update with one slide on current status of his chemistry.
[ ] @TomkUCL to ship samples of all UCL compounds to UNC for evaluation, requiring RA codes. Did this shipment take place over the summer?
[ ] @ahsgc to maintain contact with Piramal re building block completion and delivery to UCL <-- all complete?
Are there any CACHE competition icompounds (designed vs the RNA-binding site) that can be used as a comparator, or as a source of potential control compounds? Or as a source of a machine-learning model that could be used to predict better binders in a second round?
[ ] @TomkUCL has used UCL's Creoptix wave to evaluate all local UCL compounds. Data arising? (No control protein was being used. Toronto has used WDR5, UCL could use carbonic anhydrase, etc. Alignment could help publishing the work!)
Structures
[ ] Joe Newman to update on compound soaking. The compounds sent by @ahsgc were soaked, but nothing was observed bound. Joe was going to try with ATP-periodate and the original fragments. Joe to update if available.
AOB
NMR: @TomkUCL to update on discussions with Chris Waudby (UCL) on design of 19F ligand-protein NMR assay with Joe’s fragments as controls. @mattodd will buy a 500-member 19F frag library.
@jamesday100 raised the question of whether we should go back and examine the other sites highlighted in the original fragment screen. @kipUNC mentioned that compounds were designed, purchased and evaluated vs ATP- and RNA-binding sites. @kipUNC to dig up the data.

Assays
ATP-periodate remains the best control we have. @alvaro-magalhaes has shipped the lit indole compounds first identified by @jamesday100 (now published) https://github.com/StructuralGenomicsConsortium/CNP8-Nsp13-Indoles
