Abstract
The present invention relates to novel compositions of methotrexate-containing heterodimeric probe molecules, also known as chemical inducers of dimerization (CID), useful in three-hybrid assays. The invention further relates to synthesis of said compositions and their intermediates. Another aspect of the invention is a method for using the heterodimeric probe molecules described herein in drug screens to identify potential protein targets to a given ligand, optimize protein-ligand interactions, or identify potential ligands for a given protein target. In certain embodiments, the invention contemplates the synthesis of the following methotrexate-containing heterodimeric probe:
