As an associate scientist in our Chemical Biology team, you are working on the development of a new proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTAC) against a cancer-relevant protein. PROTACs are a recently developed class of designer molecules that promote the degradation of specific proteins in the cell by targeting them to the cellular organelle known as the proteasome. The modular structure of PROTACs and their potential to target molecules that are out of reach for classic inhibitors and antibodies make them promising drug candidates for a broad range of diseases.
In this simulation, you will:
