When active substance and target protein "embrace" each other
Many anti-cancer drugs block signals in cancer cells that help degenerated cells to multiply uncontrollably and detach from tissue. For example, blocking the signaling protein FAK, a so-called kinase, causes breast cancer cells to become less mobile.....»»
Researchers track greenhouse gas emissions in Chinese value chains with an interprovincial input–output model
