Computer-Aided Drug Design

Computer-aided drug design is a most recent, exceptionally viable strategy which utilizes computational chemistry to determine, study the drugs and related biologically active components. There is a constantly growing effort to employ computational power to the combined chemical and biological space in order to rationalize drug discovery, design, development and optimization. It is an inventive process of finding new medications based on the knowledge of a biological target. Molecular mechanics and Quantum mechanics are the two methods involved in computer-aided drug design.
