Chem(Pro)2: the atlas of chemoproteomic probes labelling human proteins

Abstract

Chemoproteomic probes (CPPs) have been widely considered as powerful molecular biological tools that enable the highly efficient discovery of both binding proteins and modes of action for the studied compounds. They have been successfully used to validate targets and identify binders. The design of CPP has been considered extremely challenging, which asks for the generalization using a large number of probe data. However, none of the existing databases gives such valuable data of CPPs. Herein, a database entitled ‘Chem(Pro)2’ was therefore developed to systematically describe the atlas of diverse types of CPPs labelling human protein in living cell/lysate. With the booming application of chemoproteomic technique and artificial intelligence in current chemical biology study, Chem(Pro)2 was expected to facilitate the AI-based learning of interacting pattern among molecules for discovering innovative targets and new drugs.
