Study resolves molecular structures of Spiegelmers for the first time

Wednesday, April 22, 2015 - 08:00 in Physics & Chemistry

Using DESY's ultra bright X-ray source PETRA III, scientists have resolved the molecular structure of two promising drug candidates from the new group of Spiegelmers for the first time. The results provide a deeper understanding of the mode of action of these substances that have already entered clinical trials. The researchers from the Universities of Hamburg and Aarhus (Denmark) together with colleagues from the biotech company NOXXON in Berlin present their work in the journal Nature Communications.
