Butterfly structure: a scaffold of therapeutic importance.

abstract：:Every organism is in contact with numerous small molecules (<1000 Da). Chemicals may cause or trigger adverse health effects, including diseases of the immune system. They may also be exploited as drugs. In this review, we look at the interaction between small molecules and the immune system. We discuss the hapten and...
