Chemoproteomics and Chemical Probes for Target Discovery

Drewes, Gerard, Knapp, Stefan·2018·Trends in Biotechnology

Abstract

Chemical probes represent versatile tools to validate disease-modifying targets. However, evaluating the selectivity of chemical probes in complex cellular systems is a major challenge that needs to be addressed to better understand the mode of action of small molecules and the interpretation of their pharmacological effects. Chemoproteomics has emerged as a key technology to characterize the mode of action of pharmacological modulators such as chemical probes and drugs, and these studies have unraveled the cellular targets of many bioactive compounds. Here we review the role of chemical probes for the validation of new therapeutic targets and their characterization by proteome wide affinity- and activity-based chemical proteomics and recently developed label-free technologies.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Chemoproteomic platforms enable rapid target identification and selectivity profiling of covalent ligands.

    “This ‘electrophile-first’ approach is partly facilitated by the development of chemoproteomic platforms that enable rapid target identification and selectivity profiling of covalent ligands14–18.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
