Chemical genetics: elucidating biological systems with small-molecule compounds.
Chemical genetics employs diverse small-molecule compounds to elucidate biological processes in a manner analogous to the mutagenesis strategies at the core of classical genetics. Screening small-molecule libraries for compounds that induce a phenotype of interest represents the forward chemical genetic approach, whereas the reverse approach involves small molecules targeting a single protein. ...
متن کاملChemical Genetics A Small Molecule Approach to Neurobiology
Chemical genetics, or the specific modulation of cellular systems by small molecules, has complemented classical genetic analysis throughout the history of neurobiology. We outline several of its contributions to the understanding of ion channel biology, heat and cold signal transduction, sleep and diurnal rhythm regulation, effects of immunophilin ligands, and cell surface oligosaccharides wit...
متن کاملIdentification of novel small-molecule inhibitors of severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus by chemical genetics.
The severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infected more than 8,000 people across 29 countries and caused more than 900 fatalities. Based on the concept of chemical genetics, we screened 50,240 structurally diverse small molecules from which we identified 104 compounds with anti-SARS-CoV activity. Of these 104 compounds, 2 target the SARS-CoV main protease (M(pro)),...
متن کاملChemical genetics approach to identify new small molecule modulators of cell growth by phenotypic screening of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains with a library of morpholine-derived compounds.
A chemical genetics approach has been applied in the screening of yeast deletants strains with a pool of morpholine-derived compounds in order to identify candidate small molecules able to produce phenotypic effects on yeast cells. The analysis of the effects of structurally diverse molecules towards cell growth rate in both exponential and stationary phases provides a tool to select candidate ...
متن کاملPredicting Biological Functions of Compounds Based on Chemical-Chemical Interactions
Given a compound, how can we effectively predict its biological function? It is a fundamentally important problem because the information thus obtained may benefit the understanding of many basic biological processes and provide useful clues for drug design. In this study, based on the information of chemical-chemical interactions, a novel method was developed that can be used to identify which...
