Digitisation Of Medical Chemistry
Scientists have developed a new method to produce drug molecules which they say uses downloadable blue[prints to easily and reliably synthesise organic chemicals via a programmable "chemputer".
Researchers from the university of Glasgow in the UK said the method could democratise the pharmaceutical industry .Published in "Science" , the research shows for the first time how synthesis of important drug molecules can be achieved in a affordable and modular robot system they call a chemputer.
The researchers claim the ability to use a universal code will allow chemists all around the world to convert their recipe into a digital code.
This will allow others to share and download recipes similar in a similar way to music in today to iTunes or Softify they said.
This approach is a key step in the digitisation of chemistry and all allow the universal assembly of complex molecules on demand , democratising the ability to discover and make new molecules using using simple software app and a molecular chemputer said professor Lee Cronin from the university of Glasgow.
