Abstract
Here, we detail our optimized protocol for the identification of drug targets in Leishmania donovaniusing thermal proteome profiling. This approach is based on the principle that binding of a drug to its protein target can significantly alter the thermal stability of that protein. By monitoring changes in the thermal stability of proteins within drug-treated and untreated cell lysates, using mass spectrometry combined with tandem mass tag labeling, putative targets of the drug can be identified in an unbiased manner.
