University of Groningen scientists have demonstrated how to speed up drug development using well-known generic techniques. By creating a protective wrap (called an aptamer) from RNA, they managed to selectively modify groups of an aminoglycoside antibiotic. Using standard chemical synthesis, it would take about two years to design and perform all the necessary steps for this modification. The new technique takes just two to three months. The results were published online by the journal Nature Chemistry on 22 July.
