Inspired by electric car batteries, researchers developed a battery-like system that allows them to make potential advancements for the manufacturing of medicines.

Scripps Research scientists have solved a major problem in chemistry and drug development by using droplet-sized ‘miniecosystems’ to quickly see if a molecule can function as a potential therapeutic.

"We are thrilled to have the NIH’s continued support for our efforts to advance individualized medicine, both in care of patients and in training of young physicians and scientists."

Scientists have identified a protein, called GPR68, that senses blood flow and tells small blood vessels called arterioles when to dilate. 

"It’s already clear that this method opens the door to creating new types of compounds and new types of bonds."

The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) facility at the Florida campus of Scripps Florida is becoming one of the most advanced in South Florida, thanks to a new $600,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health.

New method expected to replace textbook reactions, enable syntheses of many new candidate drugs and other molecules.

The researchers believe this new understanding of anti-CRISPR proteins may eventually lead to more sophisticated and efficient tools for gene editing.

Chemists at Scripps Research have devised a versatile molecule-building tool for creating new drugs and other chemical products.

"This method essentially mimics the ability of the enzymes in our cells to turn simple organic molecules into chiral molecules."

A team led by scientists at Scripps Research has developed a versatile new method that should enhance the discovery of new drugs and the study of proteins.
