Using AutoGrow 4 to optimize one compund

[Rocio Riveros]

Hi! I used AutoGrow 3 to grow three fragments derived from a soaking experiment. At that time, only three fragments bind to the site of interest. But only one of them grow using click reactions. Also, with AutoGrow 3 was possible to grow one ligand at at time. Now I want to use AutoGrow 4 to test if those fragments can grow with the new reactions included. It is recommendable to use AutoGrow4 to grow a few molecules? Because in the examples I saw that you use much more than three initial compounds.
Thank you!
Best regards
Rocio

Hi Rocío. Very exciting that you’re thinking about applying Autogrow in this way! The Autogrow 4 reaction set is much expanded, so there’s a chance it will be able to grow more of your fragments. It’s definitely worth a try. Autogrow 4 shouldn’t have any problem processing fewer compounds than the number described in the examples. Best of luck!
