Imaging of Nanoscale Pores Aids Drug Discovery
"We now have both pieces of our puzzle," said Rice University professor Christy Landes. "We can see our proteins interacting with charges within our porous material and we can measure the pores. This has direct relevance to the protein separation problem for the $100 billion pharmaceutical industry."
