Blue Light Breakthrough Could Speed Up Drug Discovery

Reported bySciTechDaily ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

University at Buffalo researchers developed a visible-light-driven method using blue LEDs and a catalyst to make two neighboring chemical changes to drug molecules simultaneously, published in Science, potentially reducing the number of steps needed in drug discovery.

Worth noting

The findings are limited to laboratory chemistry; clinical translation to actual medicines remains future research.
