Conformational strain is becoming a must-know in drug design. With advancing tools, strain optimization will soon be standard, reducing failures, boosting accuracy, and accelerating timelines. 💬 Are you integrating strain analysis, or is it your next big leap? #DrugDesign

My first blog post in 5 years. We all know that association does not mean causation. This is important in chemistry, but what about the reverse? I think this is a huge problem with experimental science: that causation may not mean association. https://t.co/4GnwdTEakS

We know that association does not necessarily mean causation. But does causation always imply association? This is trickier, yet situations like this are more common than you might think. I think t…
