Cavity-based negative images in molecular docking
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-10-01)
In drug development, computer-based methods are constantly evolving as a result of increasing computing power and cumulative costs of generating new pharmaceuticals. With virtual screening (VS), it is possible to screen ...
Combination of Metformin and Inorganic Nitrate: Effects on Metabolic Disease and Lactic Acidosis
(Turun yliopisto, 2017-08-10)
Nitric oxide (NO) is a diatomic gaseous molecule generated in our bodies by enzymes known as NO synthases. More recently another pathway for generation of NO has been delineated in which dietary or endogenous inorganic ...
