Get your hands on MedChemComm issue 7 today!

This striking cover brings the work of Patrick T. Gunning and co-workers to the forefront of issue 7.

In this Concise article Gunning et al. discuss the design and synthesis of a novel class of ditopic coordination complex-based SH2 domain mimetics using de novo rational and computational design. In addition Gunning et al. identify several lead compounds that bind selectively to target phosphopeptides via the same bivalent binding mechanism employed by SH2 domains in a cell.
