How changes to proteins can alter drug interactions for new precision therapies

Inside every human cell, proteins are constantly being tagged with small chemical modifications after they’re produced. Known as post-translational modifications, or PTMs, these can change how a protein folds, where it travels and how it behaves. Now, scientists at Scripps Research have shown that PTMs also play a major role in determining whether proteins can bind to drug-like molecules.
