HMP-alkyne is a probe that can be used to photochemically label tryptophans. A method was developed using cysteine-reactive compounds including this one to allow for unbiased analysis of proteomic data in quantitative applications (Zanon et al. 2021). The method uses light or heavy labeling with the isotopically labelled desthiobiotin azide (isoDTB) tag for mass spectrometry analysis (Zanon et al. 2020). Analysis then uses the isotopic tandem orthogonal proteolysis activity-based protein profiling (isoTOP-ABPP) workflow (Weerapana et al. 2010, Backus et al. 2016)

Unbiased binding assays involving small-molecule microarrays were used to identify compounds that display unique patterns of selectivity among members of the zinc-dependent histone deacetylase family of enzymes. A novel, hydroxyquinoline-containing compound, BRD4354, was shown to preferentially inhibit activity of HDAC5

1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) derivatives are applied in quantitative proteomics owing to their ability to react with different functional groups, to harbor lanthanoides and hence their compatibility with molecular and elemental mass spectrometry. The new DOTA derivatives, namely Ln-MeCAT-Click and Ln-DOTA-Dimedone

The biotin-tagged electrophiles 1-biotinamido-4-(4'-[maleimidoethylcyclohexane]-carboxamido)butane (BMCC) and N-iodoacetyl-N-biotinylhexylenediamine (IAB) have been used as model electrophile probes in complex proteomes to identify protein targets associated with chemical toxicity. Whereas IAB activates stress signaling and apoptosis in HEK293 cells, BMCC does not. Cysteine

The one-pot synthesis and modification of cyclic peptides through a self-cleaving on-resin protocol is described. We apply Dawson's MeDbz linker to achieve direct intramolecular peptide cyclization by thioesterification followed by S → N acyl shift. This native chemical ligation approach
