The catechol moiety forms part of a breadth of natural products with biological relevance for plants, animals, and bacteria. In this work, protein targets of catechol compounds were elucidated in bacteria and in human cells using chemical proteomics. In the first part, the chemotaxis protein CheW was revealed as a major target of the eukaryotic catecholamine hormone epinephrine in the aquatic pathogen V. campbellii. In the second part, a minimalist catechol probe was developed to unravel protein targets of structurally diverse catechol compounds in mammalian cells.
