the binding site (540 KB) by Randall C. Willis If you want to use a protein´s structure for virtual drug screening, what do you do if you don´t know which of its many cracks and crevices might be important to its function? Basically, how do you find its ligand-binding sites? Researchers are using a variety of sequence alignment and molecular modeling tools to assist them in docking virtual molecules into real or model proteins. |

| The
microfluidic milieu (279 KB) by Mark S. Lesney The coming microfluidic wave involves microlaboratories, or µTAS (micro total analysis systems). Miniaturized instruments on microchips can perform the gamut of standard analytical and synthetic processes. The ultimate goals are to capture new drug candidates for clinical trial and to lock down potential drug targets. Fabricating these microlabs is an art form in itself, relying primarily on the same etching and molding technologies used to produce computer microchips. |
