Excited to highlight our latest preprint by graduate student Lauren Orr on the discovery of a covalent degradative handle that acts through two unique C173 and C178, on the E3 ligase DCAF16 that can be used to modularly design monovalent and bifunctional degraders.

DCAF16-Based Covalent Degradative Handles for the Modular Design of Degraders
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is a powerful strategy for targeting and eliminating disease-causing proteins. While heterobifunctional Proteolysis-Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are more modular, th...
