Structural Biology in Antiviral Research – A Story Illustrated by the Tales of Lipid Kinases, STING and Viral Methyltransferases
Evžen Bouřa
Abstract:This article focuses on the role of structural biology in the development of small molecules that serve as protein ligands, which could potentially be used as drugs in the future. Experimental methods are utilized to obtain structural information about proteins, which then allow for virtual screening of extensive libraries of substances. The discovered ligands are further experimentally verified, with structural biology playing a crucial role in their refinement. The goal is to develop a ligand with high affin… Show more
