Diaminopyridine-based potent and selective mps1 kinase inhibitors binding to an unusual flipped-Peptide conformation.

abstract：:C646 inhibits the lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) p300 and CBP and represents the most potent and selective small molecule KAT inhibitor identified to date. To gain insights into the cellular activity of this epigenetic probe, we applied chemoproteomics to identify covalent targets of the C646 chemotype. Modeling and...
