DESTABILIZATION-LossofProteinFunction

Loss of Protein Function

 

 

  • Loss of function approach
  • Allosteric PROTAC, targeted protein degradation
  • Results in ubiquitination and protein degradation

Degradation-ProteasonalDegradation

Loss of Protein Function

 

 

  • Loss of function approach
  • Stabilizing non-native form of protein
  • Results in protein dysfunction and/or degradation

Allosteric Inhibition

Substrate Can't Bind

 

 

  • Loss of function approach
  • Changing active site conformation to inhibit binding

Activation

Substrate Bind

 

 

  • Gain of function approach
  • Changing active site conformation to induce binding

At Gain, we've developed a sophisticated, automated, selective and high-throughput method for drug discovery that is both highly efficient and cost-effective. Our streamlined approach dramatically shortens the conventional drug discovery timelines, enabling life-saving medications to reach patients sooner.
