Structure-Based Drug Design for Therapeutic Application

Aruna Singh

Abstract


Computational methods have paved a long way in identification and characterization of molecules with special reference to drugs, protein molecules and other medicinal purposes. Commonly applied computational techniques include quantitative structure-activity, quantitative structure-property relationships ligand-based drug design and structure-based drug design (drug-target docking). Here, is provided an overview of the structure-based drug designing and its applications.

Keywords: computational methods, docking, drug designing, structure-based drug design
