A cellular thermal shift assay for detecting amino acid sites involved in drug target engagement.

ABSTRACT: Evaluating how drugs bind to specific targets at the cellular level is essential to their development and efficacy. Here, we present a protocol to detect the amino acid sites involved in drug-target engagement using a cellular thermal shift assay, which is based on ligand-induced protein thermal stabilization. We also describe generation of cell lines expressing wild-type or mutated target protein and drug treatment. This protocol enables a convenient way to assess amino acid sites involved in drug-target interaction in situ. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Peng et al. (2021).
