Testing compounds against these target protein alleles, along with computational analyses, rapidly leads to robust models for inhibitor-target binding, without the need for structural studies of inhibitor-protein complexes using X-ray crystallography or Cryo-EM. Lysine featured high nucleophilicity, frequency, and solvent accessibility, making its site-selective modification important but elusive. Neumann-Schaal, M. et al.
