Novel method of targeting disordered proteins could herald a new era for medicine

Scientists have discovered a new way to advance drug discovery and diagnostics by targeting a part of the proteome (the complete set of proteins in an organism) that was previously thought inaccessible to drug development, often referred to as "undruggable" targets.

Surprising structure discovered in disordered protein

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the...
