    For those who don't know the current biotech process. First
    you need the 2-D sequence information of an agent like a virus
    or a bacteria, then you need the 3-D structure information of
    the proteins involved in its life-cycle (which require the 2-D
    information), then you can do computer aided drug design to deal
    with it.

    Step by step...
