Late-stage functionalization with strain-release warheads enables tunable covalent inhibition.

Covalent inhibition continues to gain momentum as a strategy for selective protein modulation in both therapeutic and chemical biology contexts.

Covalent inhibition continues to gain momentum as a strategy for selective protein modulation in both therapeutic and chemical biology contexts. Covalent reactive groups (CRGs) typically engage nucleophilic residues such as cysteine, resulting in targeted protein inactivation.…
