Funded Activity Summary

Experimental Electron Densities, Crystal Engineering and Molecular Recognition: A Supramolecular Approach to Drug Design. GABA receptors are important therapeutic targets for the treatment of a number of disorders from memory dysfunction, to muscle spasticity and chronic pain. This project is designed to address some of the fundamental questions associated with drug/target interactions. This work will lead to a greater understanding of how the chemical structure of a drug can be tailored to produce a more effective compound. The outcomes of this program will highlight Australia as a strong contributing nation in molecular design. It is certain that the outcomes of this program will benefit Australia by providing a much greater level of understanding of the fundamental properties of molecules and how others may be rationally designed to suit a specific role.
