Protein degradation: Prime time for PROTACs

Abstract

PROTACs are heterobifunctional small molecules that simultaneously bind a target protein and a ubiquitin ligase, enabling ubiquitination and degradation of the target. Major progress in developing potent and specific PROTACs has recently been reported, invigorating prospects for novel PROTAC-based therapies.
