Revolutionary technique allows precise manipulation of complex molecules at atomic level.
TL;DR Summary
A new technique called skeletal editing is making it possible for individual atoms in a molecular skeleton to be swapped out or deleted without having to disassemble entire molecules. This is a significant breakthrough in drug discovery, as it allows for more efficient and targeted modifications to complex molecules.
