Determining the ligandability of the human proteome can provide key insights to characterize biological processes and promote drug discovery. Now, multi-tiered activity-based protein profiling provides comprehensive proteomic maps of chiral small-molecule interactions. Over 300 distinctive proteins were identified to ligand tryptoline acrylamides, including stereoselective and site-specific events.
