IU chemists' work will aid drug design to target cancer and inflammatory disease

Chemists at Indiana University Bloomington have produced detailed descriptions of the structure and molecular properties of human folate receptor proteins, a key development for designing new drugs that can target cancer and inflammatory diseases without serious side effects. Read more here.

Study mentioned: Wibowo AS, et al. Structures of human folate receptors reveal biological trafficking states and diversity in folate and antifolate recognition. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2013 Aug 9. [Epub ahead of print] PMID: 23934049
