摘要:
Compounds having molecular weights of less than 1500 daltons that non-covalently interact with target proteins and covalently bond to target proteins at amino acid side chains that are not part of enzyme active sites, in which covalently bound portions of the compounds sterically block the binding of the target proteins to other proteins, are disclosed. The compounds react with forward reaction rates at least 100 times faster than the forward reaction rates at which the compounds bond to the side chains of the corresponding free amino acids under physiological conditions. Compositions including these compounds and methods for preparing these compounds are also disclosed.
