Today is a good day for the results on organogold compounds in medicine! This paper concerns the 1st Gold-PROTAC investigated in a degradome assay developed by the group of Sam Meier-Menches! the study is in the frame of our #UbiQancer CRC TRR network ❤️ chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

A Gold-PROTAC degrades the oncogenic tyrosine kinase MERKT: insights into the degradome from a steady-state system

Targeted protein degradation is a valuable strategy to eliminate disease-relevant proteins. Among other classes, proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are bifunctional molecules that induce the pro...
