Activity‐Based Protein Profiling – Celebrating the Groundbreaking Contributions of Benjamin Cravatt

Israel Journal of Chemistry, vol. 63

Abstract

We are excited to introduce the special issue of the Israel Journal of Chemistry dedicated to the awarding of the Wolf Prize in Chemistry 2022 to Benjamin Cravatt for his "contributions to understanding the chemistry of cellular communication and inventing chemical methodologies to study the role of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins in such biological processes".To celebrate Ben's countless achievements, we have invited several of his previous trainees, collaborators and colleagues to contribute to this special issue.With a focus on "Activity-based protein profiling", this collection is designed to highlight the widespread impact of Ben's innovative chemoproteomic tools within chemistry, biology and pharmaceutical science.
