L. Chan, the A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at Princeton University.

«A huge fraction of the human «proteome» remains uncharacterized, and this paper shows how chemical approaches can be used to uncover proteins of a given functionality that have eluded classification based on sequence or predicted structure,» said co-senior author Benjamin F.
