Target-directed cancer: protein-ligand interactions  

Drug Target Review

We can look at the detailed binding modes of our compounds bound to their protein targets in X-ray crystallography, and for drug targets or complexes that are difficult to crystallise we can use cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) as well. In 2019 he became Reader in Structural Biology and Cancer Drug Discovery.

A PAINful itch

Molecular Design

The distinction between Type 1 and and Type 2 behaviors is an important and useful one to make from the perspective of drug discovery scientists who are making decisions as to which screening hits to take forward. For example, it has been claimed that "Most PAINS function as reactive chemicals rather than discriminating drugs."
