Abstract

The proteome integral solubility alteration (PISA) assay is widely used for identifying drug targets, but it is labor-intensive and time-consuming and requires a substantial amount of biological sample. Aiming at enabling automation and greatly reducing the sample amount, we developed one-pot time-induced (OPTI)-PISA. Here, we demonstrate OPTI-PISA performance on identifying targets of multiple drugs in cell lysate and scaling down the sample amount to sub-microgram levels, making the PISA method suitable for NanoProteomics. OPTI-PISA can be implemented using only the standard equipment of a proteomics lab.
