Latest breakthroughs in the field of biochemistry?
The connection between biology and nanotechnology is very exciting and for decades it has been a dream to be able to rationally design drugs. What I mean is you design a bridge and cars go over it and it works. The way we design a drug, using the bridge analogy, we would create a bridge, send some rats over it and if it they survive, we try humans who really want to cross the bridge. It is still very much empirical The dream is to design molecules the way we design macroscopic objects. Sounds easy, but being so small you must be really, really accurate and it is very computationally demanding.
