Computer-assisted

From Wikidoc - Reading time: 1 min


Computer-assisted drug design uses computational chemistry to discover, enhance, or study drugs and related biologically active molecules. Methods used can include simple molecular modeling, using molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics, semi-empirical quantum chemistry methods, ab initio quantum chemistry methods and density functional theory. The purpose is to reduce the number of targets for a good drug that have to be subjected to expensive and time-consuming synthesis and trialling.
