Open-source Electrophilic Fragment Screening Platform to Identify Chemical Starting Points for UCHL1 Covalent Inhibitors

Covalent Modifiers

Marto SLAS Discovery, 2024 [link] Target-based screening of covalent fragment libraries with mass spectrometry has emerged as a powerful strategy to identify chemical starting points for small molecule inhibitors or find new binding pockets on proteins of interest. Buhrlage, Jarrod A.

Probing the Protein Kinases' Cysteinome by Covalent Fragments

Covalent Modifiers

2024 , e202419736 [link] Protein kinases are important drug targets, yet specific inhibitors have been developed for only a fraction of the more than 500 human kinases. Previously, covalent fragment screens yielded potent and selective compounds for individual kinases such as ERK1/2 but have not been applied to the broader kinome.
