A ROBOTIC NMR SPECTROMETER FOR ACCELERATED DRUG DISCOVERY [ 2001-01-01 - 2002-12-31 ]

Research Grant

Brief description A ROBOTIC NMR SPECTROMETER FOR ACCELERATED DRUG DISCOVERY. The aim is to establish a facility that will use a robotic NMR instrument to help in the characterisation of drug-protein interactions and in the discovery of new drugs or agrichemicals. The significance is that with the wealth of new information arising on protein sequences from genomics programs there is an urgent need to accelerate the rate of discovery of ligands that bind to these proteins. Such ligands may provide useful drug leads or help in defining the function of newly discovered proteins. The outcomes will be new knowledge on protein structure and function, and potentially, new bio-active molecules.
