Bioengineers Invent a New Way to Speed Up Drug Discovery

Imagine the human body as an intricate machine whose working parts are proteins: molecules that change shape to enable organs and tissues to perform tasks such as breathing or eating or thinking. Of the millions of proteins, 500 in the kinase family are particularly important to drug discovery. Kinases are messengers: They deliver signals that regulate and orchestrate the actions of other proteins. Proper kinase activity maintains health. Irregular activity is ...
