The space occupied by a drug molecule in three dimensions, and how it fits into the target, is an important consideration when designing a new compound that might become a drug. Medicinal chemists commonly use 3D rendering software to visualise the shape of molecules by creating chemical structures they can rotate on a flat computer screen using a mouse or trackpad. But what if they could manipulate them in three dimensions instead, while still being able to see and interact with their colleagues?...
