    Abstract : New strategies are needed to counter the growing problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. One such strategy is to design compounds that target bacterial virulence, which could work separately or in concert with conventional bacteriostatic or bactericidal antibiotics. READ MORE

  4. 2. Redefining the essential molecular aspects that drive interactions between small molecules and G-quadruplex DNA

    Author : Måns Andréasson; Erik Chorell; Anna Linusson Jonsson; Jan Kihlberg; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : G-Quadruplex (G4) structures are secondary nucleic acid structures located in guanine-rich regions of DNA and RNA sequences, involved in gene regulation and cellular maintenance. Efforts to target G4s in a therapeutic setting are scarce, mainly due to vague details about the binding interactions between the ligands and the G4 structure combined with the lack of emphasis on drug-like properties early in the ligand development process.
