This project started 5 years ago. It led us to add isotope-labeling support to #FragPipe/#IonQuant. Since then, the tools have grown so much and are now widely used in #Chemoproteomics.

Huge thanks to everyone, and special thanks to @stephanhacker2.bsky.social and @pzanon.bsky.social
How can we study target engagement and selectivity of covalent inhibitors? Which electrophilic probes are best suited to study a certain amino acid?

Our study on "Profiling the proteome-wide selectivity of diverse electrophiles" is published in Nature Chemistry.(1/7)

Profiling the proteome-wide selectivity of diverse electrophiles - Nature Chemistry
Covalent inhibitors are powerful entities in drug discovery. Now the amino acid selectivity and reactivity of a diverse electrophile library have been assessed proteome-wide using an unbiased workflow...

I am thrilled to see the paper out now and grateful to all coauthors for their contributions to this work!
Among a number of changes, we included additional probes as well as experiments in live bacterial cells. So be sure to check it out even if you are already familiar with the preprint!

New powerful article up in the New York Times on cancelled and delayed grants

Here Are the Nearly 2,500 Medical Research Grants Canceled or Delayed by Trump (Gift Article)
Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the country’s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.
