Structural biology in drug development KU Leuven
Structural biologists focus on the structure of biomolecules. Several techniques are available to study the structure adopted by a biomolecule and unravel how this structure is related to its constitution and function. For their biological role in a functioning cell or organism, biomolecules interact with each other and/or rather small molecules in their environment. Drugs can exploit interaction with biomolecules to manipulate their biological ...
