are lacking. Identifying a tool compound will be a step toward validating the target in a broader therapeutic sense. Herein, screening more than a billion macrocyclicpeptides resulted in STUB1 binders, which were further optimized by a structure-enabled in silico design. The strategy to replace the macrocyclicpeptides’ hydrophilic and solvent-exposed region with a hydrophobic scaffold improved cellular
