1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Tuning reactivity of sulfur electrophiles is key for advancing click chemistry and chemical probe discovery. To date, activation of the sulfur electrophile for protein modification has been ascribed principally to stabilization of a fluoride leaving group (LG) in covalent reactions of sulfonyl fluorides and arylfluorosulfates. We recently introduced sulfur-triazole exchange (SuTEx) chemistry to demonstrate the triazole as an effective LG for activating nucleophilic substitution reactions on tyrosine sites of proteins. Here, we probed tunability of SuTEx for fragment-based ligand discovery by modifying the adduct group (AG) and LG with functional groups of differing electron-donating and -withdrawing properties. We discovered the sulfur electrophile is highly sensitive to the position of modification (AG versus LG), which enabled both coarse and fine adjustments in solution and proteome activity. We applied these reactivity principles to identify a large fraction of tyrosine sites (∼30%) on proteins (∼44%) that can be liganded across >1500 probe-modified sites quantified by chemical proteomics. Our proteomic studies identified noncatalytic tyrosine and phosphotyrosine sites that can be liganded by SuTEx fragments with site specificity in lysates and live cells to disrupt protein function. Collectively, we describe SuTEx as a versatile covalent chemistry with broad applications for chemical proteomics and protein ligand discovery.
