Excited to share a key part of my postdoctoral work from @TheCrick and @GSK , published in @NatureComms . A collaborative project to develop a high-throughput chemoproteomics platform for profiling cysteine-reactive fragments in native biological systems. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

I'm delighted to share our recent article developing an approach to identify cyclic peptide binders of challenging protein targets directly in cell lysates - led by @catherine_hurd with GSK's @Jake_T_Bush and Andy Powell @TheCrick @impch

Fantastic work by George, Emma and the team in the @GSK and @TheCrick collaboration: a robust chemoproteomics platform to screen covalent compounds against the proteome. Exciting work on-going to deploy at scale with AI/ML to map the druggable proteome. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Hot off the press! Check out our ‘mutate and conjugate’ paper in @ACSBioMed 🔥 Here we demonstrate that combining site-directed mutagenesis and reactive fragments can be used to rapidly identify selective covalent probes for target validation studies.

Our 'Mutate and Conjugate' paper is out now in ACS Chem Biol (@ACSBioMed)! We combine site-directed mutagenesis and electrophilic fragments to identify inhibitors the mutant protein with a view to helping target validation. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… #chembiol #medchem

Happy to share our latest preprint. Catherine used #biochemical & #structural methods to study the #epigenetic reader protein BDF5 as a potential drug target in #Leishmania. Partnership between @Mottram_group , Wilkinson lab @YSBL_York & @conway_group. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Interesting paper by the groups of @Yang_J_lab and Ping Xu in @JProteomeRes. They directly compared five different cleavable biotin tags and 3 different workflows to characterize their performance in residue-specific chemoproteomics. doi.org/10.1021/acs.jproteom…
