• Ribometrix Inc, a Greenville, N.C. - based biotech company focused on developing small molecule modulators of RNA to treat disease, raised $ 7.5 million in seed funding. (fortune.com)
Thus, the kinesin - microtubule interaction site could be a useful target for small molecule modulators, and adociasulfate - 2 should serve as an archetype for specific inhibitors of kinesin functions. (science.sciencemag.org)
«While genetic and proteomic tools can address the mechanisms of splicing at a global level, small molecule modulators allow the selective examination of splicing mechanism,» said Burkart. (sciencedaily.com)
