The invention provides high throughput methods, protein inhibitors, and uses thereof. The invention provides high throughput methods of screening compounds for modulation of protein thermal stability, the method comprising contacting a protein with each of a plurality of test compounds; and (b) measuring the melting transition (T
m
) of the protein in the presence of each of the plurality of test compounds, wherein a compound that decreases or increases the apparent Tm by at least 2 standard deviations is identified as a pharmacological protein chaperone.
