Protein analysis enables precise drug targeting
Researchers from MIPT and several U.S. and Chinese universities have solved the structure of one of the most important nervous system proteins in complex with a number of drug molecules. The discovery opens up opportunities for developing new medications with regulated action and fewer side effects. The paper was published in the journal Cell. Many modern...

Protein analysis for personalised medicine
New knowledge about proteins helps researchers develop innovative solutions for clinical practice, for example to the benefit of patients with Parkinsons’s disease. To this day, there are no therapies that work equally well for all patientsdiagnosed with the same disease. Many conventional therapies are effective in only a limited proportion of cases. And some patients who...
