Funded Activity Summary

Common recognition elements in protein active sites: Improving the efficiencies of drug discovery. The three key contributions of biotechnology to the pharmaceutical industry are the identification of novel therapeutic targets, the creation of libraries of chemical diversity, and the high throughput screening of the libraries against the targets to create new leads. Australian research institutes and biotechnology companies are strong in the identification of novel targets, but weaker in the other two areas. The research outlined in this proposal has the potential to lead to efficient drug discovery. Success in this project will support the Australian pharmaceutical sector, lead to job creation and will have social impact through the generation of better medicines.
