Abstract:

Provided herein are methods, systems, kits, and compositions useful for determining small molecule-protein interactions and protein-protein interactions. The photo-click tags provided herein can be conjugated to a small molecule or amino acid analog to provide compounds that can be integrated into a protein through photo-conjugation, allowing for identification of a small molecule-protein interaction or protein-protein interaction to elucidate the small molecules mechanism of action or the protein targeted by the small molecule. In some embodiments, the photo-click tags comprise a photo-conjugation moiety and a click chemistry handle, allowing for the attachment of various functional groups (e.g., affinity tags) to the small molecule or amino acid analog.
