The ability of an inhibitor to distinguish between different targets is important since it results in a more specific physiological effect, with fewer side effects. Design a photoaffinity probe to examine the target selectivity of (+)-JQ-1 in cells and illustrate how this probe works.

The structure of the kinase probe shown below has been used to identify the substrates of the kinase under investigation. Please explain the role of the N6 cyclohexylmethyl group in the probe for the generation of orthogonal ATP analogue-kinase pairs. Please explain the role of the thiol substitution on the γ-phosphate of the probe (ATPγS) shown above in facilitating the identification of kinase substrates. Draw arrow-pushing mechanisms to help you explain.

1)If you wanted to inhibit an enzyme in a microorganism that is also in humans, what approaches would you take in your research? 2) what advantages does a slow tight binding inhibitor have over a simple reversible inhibitor? 3) AG 7088 was designed to inhibit a picornavirus protease and is a potent antiviral agent. Why do you think moieties A-E were incorporated into the structure?
