Scripps Research scientists have identified new proteins that may be targeted by upcoming cancer drugs, using a dual protein-mapping approach. Effectively combating cancer often entails halting the multiplication of cancer cells, which depends on understanding the proteins these cells need to survive. Protein profiling is crucial in this effort, as it enables researchers to pinpoint the proteins—and their specific components—that should be targeted by future drugs. However, previous methods, when used alone, have lacked the precision necessary to identify all possible protein targets, resulting in some being overlooked.
