Researchers are using targeted protein degradation as a strategy to develop drugs that target disease-causing proteins where traditional inhibitor drugs can’t be used.
In this infographic, we discuss both inhibition and degradation, the advantages and challenges related to each approach, and the key points you need to consider when designing your protein degraders.

37:25When you’re entrusted with developing therapeutics for challenging or undruggable targets, it’s a struggle to characterize molecular interactions. And it’s not for lack of effort or expertise — SPR an
59:35Bifunctional degrader molecules (aka PROTACs) and molecular glues recruit proteins to E3 ubiquitin ligases, forming a ternary complex that enables ubiquitination and degradation of the target
One advantage of PROTACs is their unique mode of action — the induced proximity of an E3 ligase and the protein of interest (POI) triggers the ubiquitination and then degradation of the POI by the...
35:47Targeted protein degradation using molecular glues or proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) is an increasingly important therapeutic modality, especially for undruggable targets. Even with candidat
If you’re new to the world of TPD or you’re trying to keep up with all developments in this fast-moving field, here are some terms and definitions that will help you.
There has been considerable and promising development in the field of targeted protein degradation (TPD) since the seminal discovery of PROTACs in 2001.1 The appeal of degraders like PROTACs lies...
