Researchers hope to design a new generation of drugs against an array of deadly diseases. One of the key challenges is understanding a particular class of proteins adorning cell surfaces, which are the targets of the majority of pharmaceutical drugs. Scientists have now examined one promising drug target in luminous detail, using a device known as an X-ray free electron laser, or XFEL.
