Introduction
“Youcannotsupposethatatomsofthesameshapeareentering
ournostrilswhenstinkingcorpsesareroastingaswhenthestage
isfreshlysprinkled withsaffronofCilicia andanear-by alter
exhales the perfumes of the Orient. You cannot attribute the
same compositionto sightsthatfeast the eye with colourand
tothosethatmakeitsmartandweeporthatappearloathsome
andrepulsivethroughsheerugliness.Nothingthatgratifiesthe
sense is ever without a certain smoothness of the constituent
atoms. Whatever, on the other hand, is painful and harsh is
characterizedbyacertainroughnessofmatter”
(Lucretius,NatureoftheUniverse,BookII).
The origin of the concept of the ligand-receptor interaction clearly stretches back
to the times of our philosophical forbearers, but it is only in the recent part of the
currentcenturythatwehaveaggressivelyharnessedthepowerofourunderstanding
ofstructure-activityrelationshipsinordertoguidetheprocessofdrugdesign.Still
morerecentlycametheapproachofchemicalalterationofdrugchemistryinorderto
modifytheirpharmacologicalproperties.
Wearenowonthevergeofviewingeffectormoleculesandotherregulatorysitesas
therapeutictargetsfortheameliorationofhumanandanimaldisease.Therecognition,
for example, that mutant proteins are frequently misrouted molecules, rather than
functionallydefectiveones,changesourapproachto“inbornerrorsofmetabolism”and
offersnewapproachesforpharmacologicaldiscovery,basedonrescueofreceptors,ion
channelsandenzymeswithpharmacoperones.Ionchannels,regulatorsofG-protein
signaling and enzymes engaged in regulation, now present opportunities for drug
development.
The state of our art also benefits by the availability of superior tools that allow
measurementofinteractionsandaffordunprecedentedinsightintothebiomolecular
interactionsthatpresentnovelapproachestodrugdesign.
