In laboratory experiments at M.I.T. and the Children's Hospital in Boston, Dr. Rupnick has shown that an entire class of compounds designed to inhibit cancer may also, without any obvious side effects, cause extraordinary weight loss.
Chemical compounds designed to mimic banned substances – and which are not detected in routine testing – are now the most commonly used drug in some jails, Mr Hardwick said.
The blanket ban will end the 'substance by substance' approach, which has seen more than 500 new legal highs – many of them synthetic chemical compounds designed to mimic the effects of traditional illicit drugs such as cannabis and ecstasy – banned in Britain.
Ketoamide compounds, designed to mimic the natural protease substrate, have been developed as inhibitors.
To make a diagnostic, researchers typically replace the gate with a material coated with proteins or other compounds designed to capture molecules of interest.
