Chemical Biology and Probes
Chemical biology applies small molecules and synthetic chemistry tools to interrogate biological processes with spatiotemporal precision. Academic chemical biology groups develop activity-based protein profiling probes, bioorthogonal reagents, and covalent inhibitor scaffolds that commercial reagent companies license and sell to the broader research community.
