A MOLECULE-MATCHING STAR IS BORN

A key path to drug discovery over the past decade has been the process of determining “shared bioactivity” between molecules, that is, determining the similarity of one molecule to another based on its three-dimensional shape. There’s always been a catch, though. If you’re a large pharmaceutical company doing research in this area, you probably have… Read More
