  • Assay development and high-throughput screen for Sortase A inhibitors using an innovative mass spectrometry platform to combat antibiotic resistant bacteria.

    Abstract: Bacterial virulence is a driving mechanism of infection and disease. In Methicillin-sensitive and -resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSSA/MRSA), Sortase A plays a crucial role in bacterial virulence, where its transpeptidase activity anchors specific proteins like Staphylococcal protein A (SpA) to the cell wall enabling colonization and infection as well as facilitating resistance to antibiotics. Sortase

  • Application of a MALDI mass spectrometry assay to identify covalent fragments targeting the methyl-lysine reader protein MPP8

    In recent decades, the development of targeted covalent inhibitors (TCIs) has significantly advanced, as evidenced by the increasing number of FDA approved drugs with covalent mechanisms of action. This study focuses on the application of a robust and efficient screening platform to identify covalent fragments that modify the methyl-lysine reader protein M-phase phosphoprotein 8 (MPP8).
