Confident decisions require better evidence.
Drug discovery depends on understanding which targets a compound engages, including both intended and unintended targets. Omivera generates quantitative chemical proteomics data to answer the critical questions needed to prioritise compounds with confidence.
Key questions before advancing your compound:
- Is your compound engaging its intended target?
- How selective is it in biologically relevant systems?
- To what extent is each target engaged?
- Is target engagement consistent across disease-relevant models?
Why chemical proteomics?
Native biological systems
Measure target engagement directly in living cells and other native biological systems rather than relying on simplified biochemical assays.
Endogenous protein profiling
Profile target engagement and selectivity across hundreds of endogenous proteins simultaneously, revealing both intended and unexpected interactions.
Cross-model profiling
Apply the same quantitative chemical proteomics workflows across cell lines, in vivo models, and PBMCs to directly compare target engagement as compounds progress through drug discovery.
Where you measure matters just as much as what you measure.
Whether you are developing kinase inhibitors, serine hydrolase inhibitors or covalent drugs, we wouldd be happy to discuss the most appropriate chemical proteomics strategy.
Kinase inhibitor profiling – CellEKT®
Quantitatively profile target engagement and selectivity across up to 90% of endogenous kinases in biologically native systems.
Serine hydrolase inhibitor & activity-based protein profiling
Measure target engagement and selectivity of serine hydrolase inhibitors by using proteomics- and gel-based activity-based protein profiling (ABPP).
Covalent inhibitor profiling
Profile covalent inhibitors using residue specific probes or tailored probes, enabling measurement of target engagement across endogenous proteins.
Ensure every development decision is guided by biology that actually matters.

Activity-based protein profiling & serine hydrolases
Activity-based Protein Profiling was first introduced in 1999 in a seminal paper by the group of Benjamin Cravatt. The idea is beautiful in its simplicity: turn covalent inhibitors (sometimes called ‘suicide substrates’) into a ‘probe’, a molecule that can be...
