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. 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?

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.
