Abstract

In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Bondeson et al. (2018), Burslem et al. (2018), and Huang et al. (2018) systematically characterize proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) regarding their specificity and general advantages of targeted proteolysis of cellular proteins and provide interesting insights into possible future developments.
