How Can Understanding Protein Complexes Aid in Drug Design?
Knowledge of protein complexes can significantly impact drug design:
1. Target Identification: Understanding the structure and function of protein complexes can help identify new drug targets. 2. Allosteric Modulators: Drugs can be designed to modulate the activity of protein complexes by binding to allosteric sites. 3. Resistance Mechanisms: Studying protein complexes involved in drug resistance can aid in the development of more effective therapeutics.
