AUSTIN, Texas, July 1 -- The University of Texas at Austin's Texas Advanced Computing Center issued the following news release:
Nearly every drug that is, or has ever been, used was derived from nature -- harnessing compounds created by organisms over eons to fight diseases. But decades ago, biochemists postulated that it might be possible to design a new drug from scratch by linking up amino acids in precise ways.
The tricky part, as it turned out, was predicting in ad . . .
