Abstract:There has been a surge of interest and efforts in the discovery of covalent ligands for diverse proteins as tool compounds or therapeutic candidates in recent years. We present two studies that involve applications of a targetcentric approach and a ligand-centric approach toward covalent ligand discovery. By targeting a rare cysteine residue in a receptor tyrosine kinase EphB3, we were able to rapidly identify potent inhibitors of EphB3 with extraordinary proteomic selectivity supported by activity-based probe… Show more
