Summary
The different resulting structures can alter the drug’s solubility and how much of it reaches a person’s bloodstream after it is taken.The new molecule is stickier than gels the researchers have previously produced and may help to better control the properties of the molecules they design.“You might imagine a situation where, for example, you can braid fibres in one way and you get something which is ketchup-like and you can braid them another way and you get something that’s like a rubber ball,” says Steed.
