> In rhinovirus, a virus causing the common cold, a similar pocket was exploited to develop potent small molecules that bound tightly to the pocket distorting the structure of the rhinovirus, stopping its infectivity. These small molecules were successfully used as anti-viral drugs in human trials, defeating rhinovirus in the clinic.
So why isn't there a cure for the common cold? If there still isn't a cure for the common cold, why should we expect this drug target to be different?
Surely whoever wrote this article should have anticipated these questions?
