Researchers in Simon Fraser University’s Brinkman Laboratory are collaborating with U.S. researchers to test a new drug that can kill a wide range of superbugs — including some bacteria now resistant to all common antibiotics. Known as AB569, the drug contains ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (commonly referred to as EDTA) and acidified nitrite, two inexpensive chemicals thatContinue reading “Potential superbug-killing compound”

How is Chemoinformatics Used in Drug Discovery?
Chemoinformatics is a relatively new principle of chemistry and is based upon the processing of data concerning chemical and molecular structures through the use of computational analysis. The analysis of these data allows the relationship between chemical structure, chemical properties, and molecular activity to be studied. It is an in silico technique, which means itContinue reading “How is Chemoinformatics Used in Drug Discovery?”
