Dundee and Boehringer Ingelheim collaborate on video PR for the launch of PROTAC degraders on BI’s open innovation platform OpnMe Check our OpnMe videos here: 1) MZ1 PROTAC’s Journey to research labs (video) 2) ACBI1 PROTAC’s Journey to research labs (video)…

Read the article Open Access as SharedIt version Fantastic job Will, Manfred and team! Researchers can now access the SMARCA2/4 degrader ACBI1 for their own research – order the molecule completely free of charge from OpnMe. Related Links UoD PR: Boehringer…

Measuring kinetics by surface plasmon resonance (SPR), we reveal how striking differences in stability and lifetime of target:PROTAC:ligase ternary complexes influence initial rates of PROTAC induced protein degradation. Congratulations to Michael, Scott, Claire, Will and our colleagues at Boehringer Ingelheim. Read…
