Making the complex clear and engaging.
I created a science animation illustrating the breadth of approximately 600 compounds Novartis drug hunters synthesized and studied while searching for a molecule that could inhibit PI3K-alpha.
Published creditIt is possible to create many different small molecules that interfere with a given protein’s activity, but not all are created equal. Novartis drug hunters synthesized and studied approximately 600 compounds that inhibited PI3K-alpha before homing in on one potential drug candidate. Image credit: Fidelis Onwubueke.
