Fungi infect over a billion people worldwide and contribute substantially to human morbidity and mortality despite all available therapies. New antifungal drugs are urgently needed. Decades of study have revealed numerous protein targets of potential therapeutic interest for which potent, fungal-selective ligands remain to be discovered and developed. To measure the binding of diverse small molecule ligands to their larger protein targets, fluorescence polarization (FP) can provide a robust, inexpensive approach. The protocols in this article provide detailed guidance for developing FP-based assays capable of measuring binding affinity in whole cell lysates without the need for purification of the target protein. Applications include screening of libraries to identify novel ligands and the definition of structure-activity relationships to aid development of compounds with improved target affinity and fungal selectivity. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
