A Proteolysis-Targeting Chimera (PROTAC) is a small protein with two active domains joined by a linker. PROTACs represent an alternative to conventional enzyme inhibitors, by enabling proteasome induced degradation of the target protein.

Predicting PROTACs
PRosettaC [1] is a computational protocol for the prediction of PROTAC-induced ternary complexes [2]. The protocol receives as input, two protein structures (protein target and E3 ligase), including their appropriate ligands (binders), as well as the PROTAC chemical structure in a SMILES representation, and outputs predicted models for the ternary complex.
PROTACpedia
PROTACpedia [3] is a collaborative and comprehensive, high-quality and freely accessible resource of manually curated data on Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs).
