Molecules to Cure You, Not Kill You

Many medicines are made from the molecules of animals, plants and microbes. Visitors look at models of the molecule structures found in foxglove, tree bark, mold, and the poison dart frog that are used to make medicines. Chemists modify these natural chemicals to improve health benefits and reduce negative side effects. Visitors are challenged to identify the molecule that has been used from each organism to develop medicines.
