In the battle against cancer and other diseases, scientists are developing molecular weapons that can be used to stop uncontrollable cell growth.
A team of Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital scientists have found that “cyclimids,” a class of binding molecules known as ligands, offer a promising and efficient approach to removing disease-causing or malfunctioning proteins. Their distinct properties enable scientists to attack errant proteins at their molecular roots.
“For over a year we had been...
