Describing that process in detail can reveal a lot about how the medications work — and what form new medications should take. Using extreme-brightness x-rays from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory researchers from West Virginia University (WVU) have mapped the crystal structure of a protein that resides in our cells and determined — for the first time — how a drug latches onto it.Fri, 26 Jul 2019 00:00:00 -04002019-07-26T10:35:27-04:00
