Panel Discussion: How Can We Build Covalent Chemistries that Drive Selectivity & Open New Unvalidated Target Spaces such as Non-Cysteine Residues 11:15 am

What are some example novel warheads that are being explored to advance covalent modification to new acid residues? How can we effectively target “soft” nucleophiles that are not as reactive as cysteine? Are there unvalidated target spaces that have not yet been drugged which covalency can open up? Such as through nonsmall molecule drugs or…Read more
