Scientists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) have developed a highly accurate and relatively fast analytic method that can predict how cell membranes will respond to the molecules of drugs and toxins. This will make it possible to calculate the effect that a medicine will have on cells before any experiments. The research has been published in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation.
