Protein folding and what it means for drug discovery
Emlyn Clay
Discovering a drug is really hard and expensive; it can take decades to find one, and can fail years into a promising project. Advances in predicting how a protein folds has been at the forefront of the next leap in discovering new medicines, and we're in an age of predicting, with high accuracy, what shape they form and consequently simulating how proteins interact with one another and other chemical entities.
