Benefits of Intact MS for covalent lead discovery

Electrophile Discovery

Unlock novel covalent compounds with direct electrophilic library screening

Automated

Integrated workflows leverage commercial hardware and software for the automated detection of covalent binding

High Throughput

1000s of compounds can be interrogated in 24 hours, while full electrophile library of >10k compounds can be screened in 2-3 days

Quantitative Kinetics

Apparent Kinact/Ki measurement is enabled by similar high-throughput intact MS workflows

Target Versatility

Minor protocol variations enable nucleic acid workflows

Follow-up Characterization

Initial screening can be extended with quantitative adduct mapping, occupancy determination, and more

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the protein requirements of this assay?

This assay requires as little as 15 picomoles of protein per data point.

Can compounds be multiplexed?

Due to the automation of our data analysis tools, compounds are investigated in singleton.

Do you have an internal library?

Our in-house covalent fragment library contains 5,700 compounds in screening-ready format.
