Scientists generate new targeted protein degradation system that tunes a cell’s own proteins

Broad Institute

Related groups Liu lab Choudhary lab Fischer lab Researchers studying the role of proteins in health and disease use experimental tools that inactivate proteins, destroy them, or prevent them from being made in cells. The new study appears in Science. Paper cited Mercer JAM, et al. March 14, 2024.

Targeted protein degradation: turning undruggable targets into druggable targets

Drug Target Review

TPD is a rapidly evolving therapeutic modality to degrade a disease-causing proteins, thereby eliminating their function specifically. 1 TPD is expected to challenge undruggable proteins, which are highly difficult to target by conventional small molecules. How does TPD work? Nature News.

Molecular glues: new solutions for undruggable proteins | BMG LABTECH

BMG Labtech

Promising future Molecular glues offer exciting opportunities for targeted protein degradation and new ways to reach some of the estimated 85% of undruggable targets in the proteome. Conventional drug development has often focused on finding small molecules that fit the active site of a protein.
