Location-agnostic site-specific protein bioconjugation via Baylis Hillman adducts

Covalent Modifiers

Taken together, the protein bioconjugation toolkit that we disclose herein will contribute towards the generation of both mono and multi-labelled protein-small molecule bioconjugates for applications as diverse as biophysical assays, cellular imaging, and the production of therapeutic protein–drug conjugates.

Structure-Based Optimization of Covalent, Small-Molecule Stabilizers of the 14-3-3?/ER? Protein–Protein Interaction from Nonselective Fragments

Covalent Modifiers

Orthogonal biophysical assays, including mass spectrometry and fluorescence anisotropy, were used to establish structure–activity relationships. Here, we show the structure-based optimization of the nonselective fragment toward selective and highly potent small-molecule stabilizers of the 14-3-3σ/ERα complex.

Target-directed cancer: protein-ligand interactions  

Drug Target Review

We support the drug discovery projects of the CCDD with assay development and screening, biophysics, structural biology and recombinant protein production. The team that I lead within the CCDD is called the Hit Discovery and Structural Design Team.

Obstacles and innovations of macrocyclic drug development

Drug Target Review

However, close to 40 percent of all macrocyclic drugs are orally bioavailable, 6 including natural products and derivatives thereof that have provided chemical structure clues with respect to permeability. 12 Ring bridging strategies have also been effective in addressing permeability, as seen with MK-0616.
