Abstract:Currently, most drugs have their mode of action based on occupation-oriented pharmacology (proteins modulation through temporary inhibition by association and dissociation). Alternative modes of actions are welcome to exploit current known targets (in a more selective way, for example) as well as those known as “undruggable”. PROTAC (protheolysis targeting chimera) technology provides a compelling new approach that is based on an event-driven mode of action, exploring simultaneous binding to a protein and an E… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
