Scientists finally crack nature's secret for building better cancer drugs

Scientists at the University of Warwick have discovered how bacterial enzymes use 'docking domains' to coordinate the production of complex anti-cancer compounds. This insight into combinatorial biosynthesis provides a blueprint for engineering new, more effective cancer therapies.
Scientists have uncovered how bacteria naturally manufacture multiple versions of powerful cancer drugs, solving a mystery that has puzzled researchers for decades. The discovery could help speed the development of new treatments for cancers that are still difficult to treat.
