Virtual 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 کاملRational Drug Designing Strategies for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
Despite the availability of various techniques for diagnosis; the presence of improved and modified version of vaccines and the existence of more than a dozen of drugs, tuberculosis still remains as a significant infectious disease. The publication of complete genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has lead to the development of new genetic tools to ascertain the functioning of individual genes, ...
متن کاملComputation-based virtual screening for designing novel antimalarial drugs by targeting falcipain-III: a structure-based drug designing approach.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Cysteine proteases (falcipains), a papain-family of enzymes of Plasmodium falciparum, are responsible for haemoglobin degradation and thus necessary for its survival during asexual life cycle phase inside the human red blood cells while remaining non-functional for the human body. Therefore, these can act as potential targets for designing antimalarial drugs. The P. falc...
متن کاملRecent development and application of virtual screening in drug discovery: an overview.
Virtual screening, especially the structure-based virtual screening, has emerged as a reliable, cost-effective and time-saving technique for the discovery of lead compounds. Here, the basic ideas and computational tools for virtual screening have been briefly introduced, and emphasis is placed on aspects of recent development of docking-based virtual screening, scoring functions in molecular do...
متن کاملConsiderations for designing chemical screening strategies in plant biology
Traditionally, biologists regularly used classical genetic approaches to characterize and dissect plant processes. However, this strategy is often impaired by redundancy, lethality or pleiotropy of gene functions, which prevent the isolation of viable mutants. The chemical genetic approach has been recognized as an alternative experimental strategy, which has the potential to circumvent these p...
