Abstract
Despite existing experimental and computational tools to assess the risk, the non-specific chemical modification of protein thiol groups remains a significant source of false-positive hits, particularly in academic drug discovery. Herein, we describe the application of a simple NMR method in a systematic study on the reactivity of 5-benzylidenebarbiturates, 5-benzylidenerhodanines, and their related oxo-heterocycles, which have been associated with numerous biological activities and have recently gained a reputation as unselective promiscuous binders. Using this method, we confirmed the reactivity of 5-benzylidenebarbiturates, which are known to easily form Michael adducts with nucleophiles. In contrast, 5-benzylidene five-membered oxo-heterocycles revealed almost insignificant reactivity. We can conclude that the distinct binding profile of the most controversial compounds, 5-benzylidenerhodanines, is not necessarily related to their unspecific Michael acceptor reactivity.

Michael Sattler's teaching material
The website of EMBL's Sattler Group contains links to a range of teaching materials:
http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/nmr/sattler/teaching/index.html
There's a lot of useful stuff on their website, but it's pretty difficult to navigate.
The website also has links to some of Claudia Muhle-Goll's biomolecular NMR lectures (PowerPoint):
Lecture 1: Phenomenon of NMR - why do we observe a signal?
Lecture 4: Labelling techniques and heteronuclear backbone assignment
Lecture 5: Product operator formalism
