The key to the design of a new anticancer drug is the careful engineering of its 3D shape to ensure optimal docking between the drug and target-enzyme.

We are investigating whether using 3D sound and visuals will allow scientists to design effective anticancer drugs quickly and more efficiently.

About

The key to effective design of new anticancer drugs is the ability to target specific biomolecules by carefully engineering the 3-D shape of new drug molecule to reach the optimal docking between a drug and target-enzyme.  Currently chemists and biochemists can  ‘tune’ this energetic interaction purely with the aid of visual software.  The process is…
