'Protein caves' - Dr Onisha Patel and Dr Isabelle Lucet, 2017
‘Protein caves’ is a snapshot from a 3D structure of a protein known to play a role in promoting certain cancers. The multi-coloured ‘hills’ reveal the protein’s uneven surface and the dark patches in between are its ‘caves’. Our researchers are working to design a drug that will fit perfectly into one such cave, and eventually stop cancer in its tracks.
