In drug discovery, virtual screening is a fast and cost-effective way of narrowing down vast chemical libraries to identify the most promising hits, reducing synthesis and testing requirements while ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

This article and associated images are based on a poster originally authored by Lin Chen, Vincent Blay, Pedro J. Ballester and Douglas R. Houston and presented at ELRIG Drug Discovery 2025 in ...

In a recent review published in the journal Nature, researchers examined recent breakthroughs in ligand discovery tools, their potential to reshape the drug research and development process, and the ...

The earliest stage of drug discovery is governed by a simple constraint: there are far more possible drug-like molecules than any pharmaceutical laboratory could ever test. A new deep learning system, ...

Because ketones are widespread in organic molecules, chemists are eager to develop new reactions that use them to form chemical bonds. One challenging reaction is the one-electron reduction of ketones ...
