a | Example of a reactive probe for activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) designed with a broadly reactive electrophilic warhead linked to an analytical handle. b | Schematic of the competitive isoTOP-ABPP (isotopic tandem orthogonal proteolysis–activity-based protein profiling) methodology. Treatment of cells or lysate with a protein-reactive compound prevents subsequent binding of the pan-reactive probe, and this competitive ligand binding can be detected by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) after an enrichment step, to indirectly identify covalent protein targets for the compound of interest.
