  Exploring Gene Function: Chemical Biology Approaches
  Author(s): Pandita Deepthi*
  
  Exploring gene function is a crucial aspect of understanding biological processes and disease mechanisms. Chemical biology approaches play a significant role in this exploration by using small molecules as tools to study gene function. These approaches involve the design, synthesis and application of chemical compounds to manipulate or probe the activities of genes and their products. Chemical biology utilizes various techniques and tools to explore gene function. Small molecule inhibitors are designed to selectively block the activity of specific genes or gene products, such as enzymes or receptors. These inhibitors can be used to investigate the biological consequences of inhibiting a particular gene function. They help identify the pathways and processes in which the target gene is involved...
