Covalent inhibitors are powerful entities in drug discovery. Now the amino acid selectivity and reactivity of a diverse electrophile library have been assessed proteome-wide using an unbiased workflow. This comparative analysis and the probes described could help guide the discovery and design of covalent ligands targeting residues beyond cysteine.
