The discovery provides scientists with a new way to investigate the effectiveness of drug candidates that might otherwise have been overlooked.</p> <p>The new method centres on the principle of enzyme inhibition. Countless pharmaceuticals, ranging from antibiotics to chemotherapy drugs, work by blocking the action of enzymes, and the search for new enzyme-inhibiting substances remains a major focus of drug development.</p> Thu, 01 Mar 2018 14:26:43 +0000 justin.dupuis@mcgill.ca 33174 at /newsroom
