Enantioselective Protein Affinity Selection Mass Spectrometry (E-ASMS)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We report an enantioselective protein affinity selection mass spectrometry screening approach (E-ASMS) that enables the detection of weak binders, informs on selectivity, and generates orthogonal confirmation of binding. After method development with control proteins, we screened 31 human proteins against a designed library of 8,210 chiral compounds. 16 binders to 12 targets, including many proteins predicted to be “challenging to ligand”, were discovered and confirmed in orthogonal biophysical assays. 7 binders to 6 targets bound in an enantioselective manner, with K D values ranging from 3 to 20 µM. Binders for four targets (DDB1, WDR91, WDR55, and HAT1) were selected for in-depth characterization using X-ray crystallography. In all four cases, the mechanism for enantioselectivity was readily explained. We conclude E-ASMS can be used to identify and characterize selective and weakly-binding ligands for novel protein targets with unprecedented throughput and sensitivity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
