Targeted protein degradation (TPD) has rapidly emerged as a therapeutic modality to eliminate previously undruggable proteins through repurposing the cell’s endogenous protein degradation machinery. However, development of TPD compounds is largely driven by trial-and-error. We developed a machine learning model, MAPD (Model-based Analysis of Protein Degradability), to predict degradability from protein-intrinsic features that encompass post-translational modifications, protein stability, protein expression and protein-protein interactions. MAPD shows promising performance in predicting kinases that are degradable by TPD compounds and is likely generalizable to independent non-kinase proteins.
Here, we designed R package MAPD to make it quick and easy to:
