Drug Discovery • Unlike small molecule drugs (pharmaceuticals), large molecule drugs (biopharmaceuticals) are mainly protein-based o These protein-based drugs are similar to natural biological compounds found in human body or they're fragments that mimic active part of natural compounds Discovery of Pharmaceuticals commences w/ scanning hundreds of compounds, whether w/ actual materials (irrational approach) or virtual simulations (rational approach) • Pharmaceuticals are new che...

MIP 300 Exam 2: Questions and answers, rated A+ There are many factors that affect the outcome of a host microbe interaction (disease or lack of disease development). Please describe at least 3 factors that help determine whether a microbe will cause a disease in a particular host. - -1. ability to adhere to and colonize host - adhesins help adhere to surfaces: fimbriae/pili, capsule/glycocalyx/slime layer, S-layer, techoic acid, viral capsids & envelopes. 2. ability to grow in or on...
