Structure-based lead optimization of a PROTAC small-molecule in the BRD4-CRBN complex

The purpose of this article is to illustrate how to apply some of 3decision’s features in scientific research. For this use case, the 3decision Subpocket Similarity Search is used to suggest modifications for the optimization of a small- molecule PROTAC. The Protein-Ligand interaction coloring by statistics is then used to evaluate docking poses of new compounds. The bromodomain-containing protein 4 – cereblon complex (BRD4-CBRN) and its degrader dBET23 are used as an example.
