A research team led by Tony Kusalik and Scott Napper have harnessed bioinformatics and molecular biology to create powerful software that promises to become a "must have" tool in drug development research labs the world over. The software is used to analyze kinases - a type of enzyme involved in virtually every cellular function, from energy use and reproduction to modifying gene expression. A demonstration of its effectiveness recently appeared in the journal Science Signalling.
