title: Discovery of novel PTP1b inhibitors.
abstract: A small library of 19 compounds was designed based on unique structural features of PTP1b. Utilizing electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) to provide binding information about complexes of enzyme and small molecule ligands, two classes of lead compounds were discovered.
