Abstract excerpt
Small molecule covalent drugs provide desirable therapeutic properties over noncovalent ones for treating challenging diseases. The potential of covalent protein drugs, however, remains unexplored due to protein's inability to bind targets covalently. We report a proximity-enabled reactive therapeutics (PERx) approach to generate covalent protein drugs. Through genetic code expansion, a latent bioreactive amino...
