Modalities of induced proximity pharmacology: Degraders and Beyond themed collection
Abstract
This review summarizes the past and present advances in developing degraders of epigenetic targets which play critical roles in many crucial biological pathways and therefore, targeted for the discovery of therapeutics.

Induced-Proximity Pharmacology
Abstract
ATP-Competitive inhibitors do not inhibit a kinase's non-catalytic, scaffolding roles. Instead, this goal may be accomplished by targeted protein degradation.

Abstract
Machine learning (ML) accelerates PROTAC design by optimizing linkers and protein–ligase interactions, enabling selective protein degradation for therapeutic applications, particularly targeting previously undruggable proteins.
