A highly versatile family of receptors found on the surface of our cells plays a massive role in the multibillion-dollar field of drug discovery. Called G protein-coupled receptors, or GPCRs, they also facilitate a staggering ...
A team of researchers from the Universities of Amsterdam and Zurich together with the Swiss company Allocyte Pharmaceuticals have for the first time been able to discover allosteric sites in a type of cell surface receptor ...
In a new study, researchers from IBM, Oxford University and Diamond Light Source show that IBM's AI Model, MoLFormer, can generate antiviral molecules for multiple target virus proteins, including SARS-CoV-2, that can accelerate ...
Phenanthridines are heterocyclic compounds consisting of two six-membered benzene rings fused to a six-membered ring containing nitrogen. They are found in many naturally occurring organic compounds known for their anticancer ...
Every disease has a protein basis.
Extremely intense X-ray pulses can determine the positions of some hydrogen atoms in organic molecules that form small crystals, an all-RIKEN team has shown. Many areas, including drug discovery and materials research, stand ...
The most interesting parts of nature are often the imperfections. That's especially true in quantum physics, the atomic-level world where tiny flaws can make a big difference in the ways particles behave and interact.
Huge libraries of drug compounds may hold potential treatments for a variety of diseases, such as cancer or heart disease. Ideally, scientists would like to experimentally test each of these compounds against all possible ...
A screening technique commonly used in drug discovery can yield important details about the actions of molecular 'glues' in protein interactions.
Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum mechanics to encode and elaborate data, meaning that it could one day solve computational problems that are intractable with current computers. While the latter work with bits, ...
