3FCF, 3FCI, 3FCK, 3FCL - PubMed Abstract: 
The linking together of molecular fragments that bind to adjacent sites on an enzyme can lead to high-affinity inhibitors. Ideally, this strategy would use linkers that do not perturb the optimal binding geometries of the fragments and do not have excessive conformational flexibility that would increase the entropic penalty of binding ...
