DegradeQuery: Counterfactual Tuple Pretraining for Context-Aware PROTAC Degradation Prediction
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.10595v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) induce protein degradation by recruiting a target protein to an E3 ubiquitin ligase, making degradation a joint outcome of the degrader molecule and its biological context. Although public databases contain thousands of structured molecule-target-E3 records, degradation measurements are available for only a small fraction of them. Existing supervised approaches therefore leave most recorded chemical-biological relationships unused. We introduce DegradeQuery, a context-aware prediction framework that conv
