Application

Desthiobiotin-iodoacetamide may be incorporated into the design of nanomaterials for applications in biosensing and imaging due to its chemical properties. It may also be used as a probe for cysteine-reactive affinity labeling in chemoproteomics, enabling the study of protein interactions and modifications.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The desthiobiotin-iodoacetamide (DBIA) probe represents a significant advancement in cysteine-reactive affinity labeling, surpassing alkyne-iodoacetamide in enrichment efficacy and mass spectrometry compatibility. With the ability to profile over 8,000 ligandable cysteine sites within 3 hours at 0.5-1 mM concentration, DBIA offers unparalleled proteome coverage and efficiency. Its unique feature of quantitative release from avidin under mild acidic conditions in organic solvents enhances its versatility in proteomic analyses. DBIA′s applicability to live cell cultures further expands its utility, positioning it as a powerful tool for investigating cysteine reactivity and protein dynamics in physiologically relevant contexts.

Cysteine chemoproteomics provides proteome-wide portraits of the ligandability or potential "druggability" for thousands of cysteine residues. Consequently, these studies are facilitating resources for closing the druggability gap, namely, achieving pharmacological manipulation of ∼96% of the human proteome that remains untargeted

Cysteine-focused chemical proteomic platforms have accelerated the clinical development of covalent inhibitors for a wide range of targets in cancer. However, how different oncogenic contexts influence cysteine targeting remains unknown. To address this question, we have developed "DrugMap," an atlas

Spatiotemporal control over engineered tissues is highly desirable for various biomedical applications as it emulates the dynamic behavior of natural tissues. Current spatiotemporal biomaterial functionalization approaches are based on cytotoxic, technically challenging, or non-scalable chemistries, which has hampered their widespread
