Cancer Drug Target Visualized at Atomic Resolution

New study using cryo-electron microscopy shows how potential drugs could inhibit cancer

Bethesda, Maryland–(ENEWSPF)–January 29, 2016.  A new study shows that it is possible to use an imaging technique called cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to view, in atomic detail, the binding of a potential small molecule drug to a key protein in cancer cells. The cryo-EM images also helped the researchers establish, at atomic resolution, the sequence of structural changes that normally occur in the protein,…
