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

Broad Institute

In one approach, they mark targeted proteins with “destroy me” tags that work with small molecules known as molecular glues to prompt the cell’s own protein-clearing machinery to gobble up the proteins. Liu is also a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and a professor at Harvard University.

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?
