Scientists up the ante in war against "superbugs"
Scientists have discovered a weakness in tuberculosis-causing "superbugs" which could help doctors fight the emergence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, says Dr Jim Naismith speaking at the BA Festival of Science at the University of Glasgow today [3rd Spetember 2001]. Tuberculosis (TB) affects more than 50 million people worldwide.... view more... (2001-08-30)

New possibilities for drug design
An article in Journal of Physics B, published on 7 July 2003 by the Institute of Physics, reports on a new technique which could in future help scientists working in rational drug design (a way of tailoring a new drug to fit the structure of the protein it targets) to develop drugs more efficiently. The work, which was on a molecule called... view more... (2003-07-04)
