Electrophilic proximity-inducing synthetic adapters enhance universal T cell function by covalently enforcing immune receptor signaling [@RulloLab]

Covalent Modifiers

Rullo Molecular Therapy 2024 DOI: [link] Proximity-induction of cell-cell interactions via small molecules represents an emerging field in basic and translational sciences. The molecules, termed covalent immune recruiters (CIRs), were designed to affinity label and covalently engage SARs.

Assigning functionality to cysteines by base editing of cancer dependency genes [@davidrliu]

Covalent Modifiers

Determining which of these covalent binding events affect protein function, however, remains challenging. Our findings thus describe a versatile method and valuable resource to prioritize the pursuit of small-molecule probes with high function-perturbing potential.

Antibody Drug Conjugates: windows of opportunity

Drug Target Review

These therapies have broadened treatment options for patients to expand beyond the more traditional small molecule drug alternatives. 2 However, when dosed at the MTD, ADCs display improved efficacy over small molecules in oncology trials. 3D rendering of Antibody Drug Conjugate Molecules.

Reinventing the small molecule toolbox: from proteins to RNA

Dark Matter Blog

The bulk of my nearly three decades of experience up to that point was with drugging protein targets using a variety of modalities, but principally small molecules. The post Reinventing the small molecule toolbox: from proteins to RNA appeared first on Arrakis Therapeutics. As ever, we proceed fearlessly forward.
