Despite the scientific advancements made in creating medicines that can target and treat diseases, researchers still face the challenge of targeting “undruggable” targets. Most drugs target proteins to treat diseases, however, there are some proteins that conventional drugs cannot access for reasons such as a protein molecule’s shape or how it folds. There have been many strategies and tools developed to overcome these challenges such as targeting RNA. RNAs have not been viewed as drug targets as of recent due to their short-lived existence, changeable shape, and limited array of building blocks. Now, researchers at Scripps Research report they have developed a new RNA drug discovery tool that allows rapid drug discovery and optimization of RNA-targeting compounds.
