Scientists measure hidden quantum forces that could power a new generation of pharmaceutical drugs
Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed a laser-based technique called TRIP to measure quantum forces within biological systems. This breakthrough allows scientists to observe how proteins rearrange and how effectively pharmaceutical drugs bind to them, potentially accelerating drug discovery.
Why it matters
Directly measuring quantum forces in living systems could revolutionize the development of new medicines by providing a clearer understanding of molecular interactions.
