Characterizing Drug–Target Interactions: Shifting towards the Clinic

摘要

Recently,Perrinet al.reported the application of thermal proteome profiling (TPP), a cellular thermal shift assay with an unbiased proteomics readout to complex tissue samples from model organisms and patient-derived whole blood. This study demonstrates for the first time that TPP enables organ-specific drug target engagement and identification studies during the later stages of drug discovery and even in a clinical setting.
