Targeted protein degradation: turning undruggable targets into druggable targets

Drug Target Review

Unlike traditional drug discovery, which focuses on inhibiting or activating proteins, TPD offers a more precise and efficient way to alter cellular pathways. 1 The concept of TPD was first demonstrated with a heterobifunctional small molecule to degrader a protein of interest in the early 2000s. How does TPD work?
