Values and Practices of Cheminformatics in Chemical World

Radhika Gupta

Abstract


Cheminformatics is the use of computer and informational techniques applied to a range of difficulties in the arena of Chemical Sciences. In silico techniques are used, for example, in pharmaceutical companies in the process of drug discovery. These methods can also be used in chemical and allied industries in various other forms.

Keywords: cheminformatics, drug discovery, pharmaceutical company, value and practices of cheminformatics
