Molecular Glue Degraders Could Target “Undruggable” Proteins
Cells contain molecular machinery that targets and disposes of unwanted proteins. Scientists would like to hijack this process to control proteins involved in cancer and other diseases, using a type of molecule called a molecular glue degrader.
