Developing a new drug usually takes 10–15 years and more than $2 billion. In this review we looked at where quantum computing could help: protein structure prediction, molecular docking, simulating protein–ligand interactions, and hybrid quantum–classical QSAR models.

Today’s quantum hardware …

The Motor Disorder Society’s Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) is commonly used to assess bradykinesia, a hallmark symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, it falls short in capturing the full variability of bradykinesia throughout the day outside of a clinical setting. To …

This study investigated the use of whey protein isolate fibrils (WPFs) combined with polysaccharides to form bilayer microcapsules for protecting β-carotene, a lipophilic antioxidant that is unstable in acidic environments. WPFs were first prepared and used to encapsulate β-carotene in a …
