One enzyme’s structure may hold the key to new treatments for a variety of diseases: diabetes, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, heart disease. Without knowing its structure, researchers have not been successful in developing inhibitor drugs to address the protein’s connection to various conditions through activating the inflammatory pathway. Now, from St. Louis University, scientists have been able to determine the enzyme’s structure.
