#Molecular_Glue

A look at how molecular glue works.
1/ In previous Targeted Protein Degrader threads, I went over the basic process of how the E1 enzyme adds the phosphate group to the ubiquitin molecule. It then passes it to the E2 enzyme which binds to the E3 ligase as a complex.
2/ The E3 ligase is designed with a site of recognition that is specific to a group of proteins. These proteins, called substrates, can be many different proteins for the same E3 ligase, but they all have a specific site that the E3 recognizes and binds to.
