title: Target molecules - design, optimization and production. The Knud Lind Larsen Symposium. 25-26 January 2002, Copenhagen, Denmark.
abstract: The Knud Lind Larsen Symposium, sponsored by the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences, was held on 25-26 January in Copenhagen, Denmark. A diverse line-up of lecturers presented research on target molecules, those molecules intended for particular applications such as binding to biological or synthetic receptors or as materials or catalysts. The symposium was well attended and highly interactive. Of interest to those involved in drug discovery were lectures on histone deacetylase inhibitors, which are being investigated as anticancer agents, second generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors based on Sustiva (efavirenz), and a phage display approach to new insulin mimetics.
