Researchers use small molecules to finely control a protein in order to understand its function, sometimes leading to new therapies. In this videocast, the Broad Institute's Angela Koehler discusses her group's use of small-molecule microarrays to allow scientists to screen for small molecules that can directly bind to a target protein.
