Targeted Protein Degraders: Transforming Drug Discovery

What are Targeted Protein Degraders? Traditional drug development depends upon the discovery of a small molecule that binds to the active site of a protein of interest (POI) and functionally blocks its activity. However, this type of ‘occupancy-driven’ pharmacology is only suitable for a narrow range of applications, as it requires the target to have both a well-defined binding pocket and established enzymatic activity. Consequently, an estimated 80-90% of the human proteome – including transcription factors, scaffolding proteins, and many other clinically relevant targets – is considered...
