    Abstract The need for drugs with fewer side effects cannot be overemphasized. Today, most drugs modify the actions of enzymes, receptors, transporters and other molecules by directly binding to their active (orthosteric) sites. However, orthosteric site configuration is similar in several proteins performing related functions and this leads to a lower specificity of a drug for the desired protein. Consequently, such drugs may have adverse side effects. A new basis of drug discovery is emerging based on the binding of the drug molecules to sites away (allosteric) from the orthosteric sites. It is possible to find allosteric sites which are unique and hence more specific as targets for drug discovery. Of many available examples, two are highlighted here. The first is caloxins - a new class of highly specific inhibitors of plasma membrane Ca²⁺ pumps. The second concerns the modulation of receptors for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which binds to 12 types of receptors. Exploitation of allosteric sites has led to the discovery of drugs which can selectively modulate the activation of only 1 (M1 muscarinic) out of the 12 different types of acetylcholine receptors. These drugs are being tested for schizophrenia treatment. It is anticipated that the drug discovery exploiting allosteric sites will lead to more effective therapeutic agents with fewer side effects.

    Abstract We rarely consider whether and how plants benefit from making antioxidant-rich fruits, despite our dependence on fruits as routine sources of these compounds. The hypothesis presented here is that storage of the antioxidant materials is advantageous to the survival of the plant species. This hypothesis is based on the premise that at different stages from flower bud opening to seedling formation, the concentrations of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) needed vary tremendously. Exposing seeds of several plant species to ROS aids germination. However, ROS can cause considerable damage by mutagenesis during plant embryogenesis. It is suggested that the antioxidant-rich environment in fruits protects the developing plant embryos from this damage. It also allows for an antioxidant environment for packaging the embryos into seeds with tight seed coats. After fruit maturation and seed dispersal, a prolonged exposure to oxygen and moisture enables the seeds to produce the ROS needed for seed germination. There is a simultaneous increase in the ROS scavenging systems to allow for protection of the dividing cells afterwards. These observations are unified into the hypothesis that the antioxidant rich fruits aid in the survival of plant species, and discussed in the context of vascular plant evolution.
