It’s such a useful resource for the community! One thing (not your focus) that stands out is that among the impressive growth of targetable residues, Ser and Thr remain out of reach. I mean I get that water is everywhere, but still, it seems like a problem that we chemists should be able to solve…

This bring me back to one of my favorite anecdotes.
In the early 1980s, a chemical physicist submitted a proposal to NIH that was assigned to NIGMS.
It received a fairly poor score (~60th percentile).
