ADP-ribose binding macro domains facilitate the enrichment and detection of cellular ADP-ribosylation. Here, the authors generate an engineered macro domain with increased ADP-ribose affinity, improving the identification of ADP-ribosylated proteins by proteomics, western blot and immunofluorescence.
