Comment: This work describes an approach to identify β-secretase 1 (BACE1) fragment binders. Assays, NMR and crystallographic studies with the soluble domain of BACE1 identified a unique binding mode for compound 12, a fragment that still occupies the active site while not making any interactions with catalytic Aspartic acid residues [1]. The very low IC50 of 0.5 mM is a consequence of being a fragment but this is unusual in having a PDB crystal structure 5MXD showing the novel active site interactions.
