Hydrogen Nucleus (p)

Target: p
Molecular classification: Subatomic Particle, Baryon, Hadron, Fundamental Constituent of Matter

Overview

The hydrogen nucleus, consisting of a single proton, is a fundamental particle with a positive charge. It determines the atomic number of hydrogen and plays a crucial role in chemical reactions, pH balance, and various biological processes. While not a direct drug target in the traditional sense, its properties are exploited in medical imaging techniques like MRI and cancer therapies such as proton therapy.
