Selective binders of a cotranslational folding intermediate
Drug discovery efforts typically target mature, folded proteins, primarily to inhibit their function or induce their degradation. An alternative strategy would be to target incompletely folded states that are transiently populated during protein biogenesis, but whether these states contain druggable pockets was unclear. Here, we used an mRNA display approach to discover cyclic peptides that…
