HTTP:: BioBrowser Reveals 3D Models of Complex Proteins
--------
Perhaps the greatest problem with treatments available today for most conditions is the fact that they address the symptoms and not the root causes of the conditions. Analyzing the interactions of proteins, which occur at very tiny scales, scientists need powerful observational tools. However, not even the most advanced ones can offer a complete and clear picture of what goes on inside cells. A new piece of simulation software, dubbed BioBrowser, will provide researchers with a powerful tool of modeling 3D proteins in real time from now on, ScienceDaily reports. Severe challenges face experts in tests aimed at determining the 3D structure of proteins. Being able to view them from all angles is extremely important for two simple reasons. First off, it becomes a lot easier to assess the efficiency of antibiotics, by observing where they bind on the tiny structures. Second, the same line of reasoning applies to extremely toxic pathogens, which utilize weaknesses in proteins i!
n order to corrupt them, and force them to act against the invaded organism. In the most widely used piece of software today, the quality of the images obtained is fairly low, and leaves a lot of room for improvement. That is not to say that it doesn't do the job. It's a lot better than having nothing to work with. But Austrian resea...
