PROTAC Analyzer
Analyzes PROTAC linkers for structural validity
The linker is the generated component; warhead and E3 ligand are fixed inputs.
Hard constraints (validity = 1 if all pass, 0 if any fails):
1. Attachment site availability: linker has reactive termini for both warhead and E3 ends
2. Linker feasibility: ring-closure constraints, long carbon chains
3. Linker atom count: 3-20 heavy atoms in the linker
4. Assembled PROTAC MW: full PROTAC within 700-1200 Da (requires warhead + E3)
5. Representational validity: RDKit sanitization, valence, round-trip
6. Synthetic accessibility: SA score β€ threshold (default 6.0)
All methods accept Chem.Mol objects β the molecular graph produced by DeFoG.
SMILES conversion happens once at the DeFoG graph β RDKit Mol boundary upstream;
this class never calls MolFromSmiles on method inputs.
Note: Bond-forming chemistry (which atom connects to which) is in protac_builder.py.
