ProMeta: few-shot learning predicts PROTAC degradation across E3 ligases
Researchers introduce ProMeta, a few-shot machine learning framework that forecasts how effectively PROTAC molecules degrade target proteins across different E3 ligases. PROTACs are bifunctional compounds that hijack the ubiquitin-proteasome system to eliminate disease-linked proteins long considered out of reach for conventional drugs. The method targets the scarcity of labeled data that has limited prior computational predictors for targeted degradation.
