HyperCys: A Structure- and Sequence-Based Predictor of Hyper-Reactive Druggable Cysteines
The cysteine side chain has a free thiol group, making it the amino acid residue most often covalently modified by small molecules possessing weakly electrophilic warheads, thereby prolonging on-target residence time and reducing the risk of idiosyncratic drug toxicity. However, not all cysteines ar...
