Um, is it too late to choose a date? Because, if I’m honest, a lot of those bags (when I used to have them) are/were biodegradable and I figured it would be down in a month, tops. Clearly I underestimated the degradableness? degradability? timeline.

Assessing the suitability of deubiquitylases as substrates for targeted protein degradation
Assessing the suitability of deubiquitylases as substrates for targeted protein degradation
Tong et al. describe a chemical genetic system to evaluate the degradability of deubiquitylase (DUBs) enzymes by PROTACs that do not inhibit their catalytic activity. They find that some Dubs are readily degradable, others resist degradation through auto-deubiquitylation, and some are inherently poor proteasome substrates because they are difficult to unfold.

Informationally degradable channels have additive coherent information, so this would be a nontrivial non-degradable channel whose quantum capacity we could evaluate! Informational degradability means I(V;B)\geq I(V;E) for every input \rhoVA.
