Illustration of the blood plasma protein alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) bound to the antitumour compound UCN-01. In the body AGP binds to many drug-like compounds preventing them from binding to their target compounds. Understanding how AGP binds molecules will allow the design of drugs that can evade AGP.
