Chemists cull compounds using 'intuition' Medicinal chemists might be using far fewer parameters to choose candidate fragments for a screening collection than they think they do. Their choices can be mimicked based on just one or two properties, a team led by researchers at Swiss-headquarted pharmaceutical firm Novartis has found. |
