摘要
Creating first-in-class medications to treat human disease is an extremely challenging endeavor. While genome sequencing and genetics are making direct connections between mutations and human disorders at an unprecedented rate, matching molecular targets with a suitable therapeutic indication must ultimately be achieved by pharmacology. Here, we discuss how the integration of chemical proteomic platforms (such as activity-based protein profiling) into the earliest stages of the drug discovery process has the potential to greatly expand the scope of proteins that can be pharmacologically evaluated in living systems, and, through doing so, promote the identification and prioritization of new therapeutic targets.
