Researchers prove the effectiveness of a new drug against malaria using synchrotron light
Researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), the Institute of Medical Chemistry (IQM-CSIC) and the University of Glasgow have proved that the CD27 drug is a true alternative against malaria. They have analysed the crystalline structure of the DNA with the drug by performing X-ray diffraction experiments at the ALBA Synchrotron. This work has been published in the journal Acta Crystallographica D.
