Pharmaceutical companies and medical researchers are
constantly trying to find new drugs that will provide better treatments for
cancer and other serious illnesses. Until recently, this process was largely a
matter of trial and error.
Disease-fighting drugs typically work by attacking a
disease-causing protein that is harmfully interacting with other molecules in
the body. The drug is able to stop these interactions by connecting to the
protein, and either restoring healthy interactions or compensating for the
unhealthy ones.
