New technology sheds light on protein interactions, points to better lung cancer therapy

Scientists have a better way to study human proteins - large molecules that are part of every cell in the body - thanks to a new technology developed by University of Toronto researchers. The technology tracks a class of proteins called membrane proteins as they interact with other proteins to either maintain health or contribute to disease.Membrane proteins make up about one third of all proteins in the human body, and their malfunction is associated with more than 500 diseases.
