A Supramolecular Approach to Medicinal Chemistry: Medicine Beyond the Molecule David K. Smith
This article emphasizes a conceptual view of medicinal chemistry, which has important implications for the future, as the supramolecular approach to medicinal-chemistry products outlined here is rapidly allowing nanotechnology to converge with medicine. In particular, this article discusses recent developments including the rational design of drugs such as Relenza and Tamiflu, the mode of action of vancomycin, and the mechanism by which bacteria develop resistance, drug delivery using cyclodextrins, and the importance of supramolecular chemistry in understanding protein aggregation diseases such as Alzheimer's and CreutzfieldJacob.

An SDS–PAGE Examination of Protein Quaternary Structure and Disulfide Bonding for a Biochemistry Laboratory Jennifer L. Powers, Carla S. Andrews, Caroline C. St. Antoine, Swapan S. Jain, and Vicky L. H. Bevilacqua
In this experiment, students use sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDSPAGE) and -mercaptoethanol (ME) to determine preliminary information about protein quaternary structure. This experiment gives students a better understanding of protein subunit composition and the forces responsible for the stability of quaternary structure. The experiment can be accomplished in one three-hour laboratory period.
