In Italy to be defined as a drug |
00:01:13.225 - 00:01:15.015 |
a substance has to be on the Ministry
of Health's illegal molecules list. |
00:01:15.225 - 00:01:18.807 |
Cocaine, heroin, amphetamines,
methadone, ecstasy, |
00:01:19.016 - 00:01:21.724 |
and more or less 200 other molecules
make up that list. |
00:01:21.933 - 00:01:24.765 |
If a molecule isn't on that list, |
00:01:25.350 - 00:01:27.182 |
then you can make it, take it,
but, above all, you can sell it. |
00:01:27.350 - 00:01:31.974 |
I graduated in biology
at the age of 24 with top marks, |
00:01:32.308 - 00:01:35.849 |
I have a master's in computational
neuroscience |
00:01:36.058 - 00:01:37.890 |
and another in molecular dynamics. |
00:01:38.100 - 00:01:39.557 |
In the last few months
I've set up a gang |
00:01:40.225 - 00:01:41.974 |
that runs a business worth
hundreds of thousands of euros |
00:01:42.183 - 00:01:44.932 |
I've been accused of producing
and pushing drugs, armed robbery, |
00:01:45.141 - 00:01:48.349 |
kidnap and attempted homicide. |
00:01:48.600 - 00:01:51.015 |
My name is Pietro Zinni,
and I'm a university researcher. |
00:01:51.225 - 00:01:56.224 |
I CAN QUIT ANYTIME I WANT |
00:02:00.016 - 00:02:03.015 |
4 MONTHS BEFORE |
00:03:11.433 - 00:03:16.807 |
...with particular reference to
current molecular docking software, |
00:03:17.225 - 00:03:20.932 |
often based on long
and, in our opinion, |
00:03:21.141 - 00:03:23.932 |
unreliable phases of elaboration
of the Katchalski-Katzir algorithm. |
00:03:24.141 - 00:03:28.765 |
Our aim instead is to obtain a result
that is much more immediate |
00:03:28.975 - 00:03:32.349 |
and much more precise.
And that is why we are asking |
00:03:32.600 - 00:03:35.599 |
