Abstract

We may think of diseases in terms of collections of symptoms, but interactions between proteins are at the root of all diseases, from bacterial infections to Alzheimer's to cancer. Understanding how proteins function and misfunction is the essential first step toward the design of drug therapies. Please join our distinguished panel of biochemists for a fantastic voyage into the molecular mechanisms of disease.
