New research in Science greatly expands the potential target scope of molecular glues and should stimulate the development of new small molecules that can selectively target therapeutically relevant proteins for degradation. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/44uRorm
This illustration shows the interface of the kinase NEK7 (light blue) and the E3 ubiquitin ligase substrate receptor cereblon (teal). The interaction is facilitated by the small molecule MRT-3486 (orange).
