Targeted Protein Degradation by Small Molecules
Open accessAbstract
Protein homeostasis networks are highly regulated systems responsible for maintaining the health and productivity of cells. Whereas therapeutics have been developed to disrupt protein homeostasis, more recently identified techniques have been used to repurpose homeostatic networks to effect degradation of disease-relevant proteins. Here, we review recent advances in the use of small molecules to degrade proteins in a selective manner. First, we highlight all-small-molecule techniques with direct clinical application. Second, we describe techniques that may find broader acceptance in the biomedical research community that require little or no synthetic chemistry. In addition to serving as innovative research tools, these new approaches to control intracellular protein levels offer the potential to develop novel therapeutics targeting proteins that are not currently pharmaceutically vulnerable.

The catalytic nature of PROTAC can achieve and maintain enhanced target degradation at low doses.
“Moreover, the catalytic nature of PROTAC can achieve and maintain enhanced target degradation at low doses (23, 25).”
From Small-molecule PROTAC mediates targeted protein degradation to treat STAT3-dependent epithelial cancer (2022) · cites this paper as [25]
The PROTACs > Next-Generation PROTACs section reports near-complete target-protein removal at concentrations as low as 5 nM, supporting effective degradation at low concentrations. Our copy does not establish that this effect is maintained over time or explicitly attribute it to PROTACs’ catalytic nature. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPROTACs can achieve high cellular potency due to their catalytic rather than occupancy-based mechanism of action.

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.
