Combining deep mutational scanning and Next-Generation Protein Sequencing to harness dominant protein variants to develop DNA repair inhibitors

AACR 2026 Poster – The most clinically effective DNA repair enzyme inhibitors convert the protein target itself into a therapeutic agent. Topoisomerase poisons block the completion of the topoisomerase reaction resulting in a genotoxic DNA-protein adduct. Similar mechanisms underlie clinically relevant PARP inhibitors and other emerging therapeutics targeting DNA Damage Response proteins. Which repair proteins […]

High-resolution detection of post-translational modifications using single-molecule protein sequencing

AGBT 2026 Poster – Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a critical role in regulating protein function and cellular processes. However, due to the diversity and complexity of the proteome, methods to detect and quantify PTMs have lagged behind advances in DNA sequencing. While conventional mass spectrometry and antibody-based methods provide valuable information, they are limited in […]
