Published in Drug Week, August 1st, 2003
Research published by the Institute of Physics reports on a new technique that could in future help scientists working in rational drug design (a way of tailoring a new drug to fit the structure of the protein it targets) to develop drugs more efficiently. The work, which was on a molecule called stella-2,6-dione, was a collaboration between colleagues at three Australian universities (Flinders, Swinburne and ANU), the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and the University of Heidelberg in Germany.
The team used a unique experimental method called electron momentum spectroscopy (EMS) to examine the outermost electrons in stella-2,6-dione, which...
