Virtual Screening: A Fast Tool for Drug Design
Computational screening of databases has become increasingly popular in the pharmaceutical research. Virtual screening uses computer based methods to discover new ligands on the basis of biological structures. Virtual screening is divided into structural based screening (docking) and screening using active compounds as templates (ligand based virtual screening). Ligand based screening technique...
متن کاملVirtual screening and its integration with modern drug design technologies.
Drug discovery is a highly complex and costly process, which demands integrated efforts in several relevant aspects involving innovation, knowledge, information, technologies, expertise, R&D investments and management skills. The shift from traditional to genomics- and proteomics-based drug research has fundamentally transformed key R&D strategies in the pharmaceutical industry addressed to the...
متن کاملFragment-based Shape Signatures: a new tool for virtual screening and drug discovery
Since its introduction in 2003, the Shape Signatures method has been successfully applied in a number of drug design projects. Because it uses a ray-tracing approach to directly measure molecular shape and properties (as opposed to relying on chemical structure), it excels at scaffold hopping, and is extraordinarily easy to use. Despite its advantages, a significant drawback of the method has h...
متن کاملVirtual screening strategies in drug design – methods and applications
Virtual screening (VS) overcomes the limitations of traditional high-throughput screening (HTS) by applying computer-based methods in drug discovery. VS takes advantage of fast algorithms to filter chemical space and successfully select potential drug candidates. A key aspect in structure-based VS is the sampling of ligand-receptor conformations and the evaluation of these poses to predict near...
متن کاملSERS assisted ultra-fast peptidic screening: a new tool for drug discovery.
Herein we present a direct label-free ultra-fast method for the identification and classification of the active members of a combinatorial library directly on the solid support used for their synthesis. The method is based on the appropriate functionalization of polyethylene glycol grafted polystyrene (TentaGel®) microbeads with Au@Ag nanoparticles, the use of these materials directly as solid-...
