Evaluating methods targeting Protein-Protein Interactions

pharmaphorum

Understanding the mechanism of PPIs and developing methods to target aberrant ones has been a key strategy in drug development. In comparison with the classic, small molecule drug discovery approach, the modulation of PPIs is more challenging. The interface is highly hydrophobic, hence any compounds containing water would be repelled.

Can artificial intelligence help craft new medicines?

Drug Discovery World

Professor Sonika Bhatnagar explores how artificial intelligence is enabling drug discovery at rates never seen before. Here started the story of drug discovery. The magic bullet was the drug, while the specific mark it would reach in the syphilis causing bacteria to eliminate the disease was the drug target.
