The Rise of Molecular Glues

Open access
Schreiber, Stuart L.·2021·Cell

Abstract

2021 marks the 30th anniversary of the revelation that cyclosporin A and FK506 act in a way previously not seen-as "molecular glues" that induce neo-protein-protein associations. As a torrent of new molecular-glue probes and medicines are fueling interest in this field, I explore the arc of this story.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
