Enantioprobe (S,S)-7

Enantioprobe (S,S)-7 is one of 16 fully functionalized, enantiomeric fragment probes developed in the Cravatt lab. Combining fragment-based ligand discovery (FBLD) with chemical proteomics, the enantioprobe library assesses ligandability across proteomes. Each enantioprobe contains a structurally variable fragment for interaction with proteins, photoactivatable diazirine for UV-induced covalent protein labeling, and bioorthogonal alkyne handle for detection, enrichment, and identification. Of the eight enantiomeric pairs, each differs by one stereocenter, and comparing stereoselective fragment-protein interactions betweenthe pairs simplifies validation of authentic protein-binding events. Enantioprobe (S,S)-7′s paired fragment is available as Enantioprobe (R,R)-7 (cat# 913413).

Together, the 16 enantioprobes support ligandability studies in living cells, a significant method for development of chemical probes and lead discovery efforts to find binders for traditionally ″″undruggable″″ protein targets. This strategy is also compatible with multiplexing for higher throughput.
