Very excited for our next seminar this Thursday, March 20th:
Martin Schwalm (@thesgc.bsky.social, formerly Knapp lab) will share insights on UPS inhibitors and Dean Clift (TRIMTECH Tx) will discuss hijacking TRIM21 for protein #degradation!
👉Join us at 12 PM EST/ 5 pm CET (‼️ US/EU time mismatch ‼️)

A rigorous study of UPS tool compounds for #degrader evaluation is published by Stefan Knapp @thesgc.bsky.social in ACS Chemical Biology! They determine the optimal doses of UPS pathway inhibitors that rescue degradation without displaying off-target activity and toxicity.

Design, Synthesis, and Biochemical Evaluation of Novel MLK3 Inhibitors: A Target Hopping Example
The human kinome has tremendous medical potential. In the past decade, mixed-lineage protein kinase 3 (MLK3) has emerged as an interesting and druggable target in oncogenic signaling. The important ro...

Quality control is often overlooked in novel pathways, and we demonstrate this using ATTECs (Autophagy Tethering Compounds) as a case study. Our new study highlights what’s frequently missing in research!

There are no shortcuts in drug discovery. And it takes incredible efforts to make sense of what you can find in the scientific literature. This is an excellent piece of work to quality check what has been claimed as a new avenue in targeted protein degradation (TPD). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

That awkward moment when someone publishes a paper saying that they can’t find any evidence that your compounds bind to what your own series of papers say that they bind to. . .
Do They Even Bind?
