Background The vital role of Protein-Protein Interactions (PPI) for Life makes them the subject of a growing number of drug discovery projects. Yet, the specific properties of PPI (often described as flat, large and hydrophobic) require a dramatic paradigm shift in our way to design the small compounds meant to modulate them with therapeutic perspectives. To this end, successful inhibitors of PPI targets (iPPI) may be used to discover what singular properties make this type of inhibitors capable of binding to such intricate surfaces. Among the properties from which lessons could be learnt, the 3D characteristics of iPPI have been pinpointed as essential. Understanding the putative shape profile of iPPI could help the design of a new generation of inhibitors.

An exploration of the 3D chemical space has highlighted a specific shape profile for the compounds intended to inhibit protein-protein interactions
