Drug Discovery Acceleration Using Digital Microfluidic Biochip Architecture and Computer-aided-design Flow

Computer-aided drug discovery

Computational approaches are an integral part of interdisciplinary drug discovery research. Understanding the science behind computational tools, their opportunities, and limitations is essential to make a true impact on drug discovery at different levels. If applied in a scientifically meaningful way, computational methods improve the ability to identify and evaluate potential drug molecules, ...

Computer Aided Drug Design: A Promising Approach for Drug Discovery

In the field of pharmaceutical sciences, the drug discovery is an interdisciplinary approach by which new potential drug candidates are discovered. Traditionally, new drug molecules were discovered through identifying the active principles from natural sources or by serendipitous discovery. But it was time consuming and expensive. As a result, in the last few years there has been a technologica...

Computer Aided Drug Design: A Novel Loom To Drug Discovery

Initially, the design of new drugs was based on the prototypical molecule, usually a natural product and making structural modifications. For designing of new drugs the understanding of the etiology of the disease and the structure of the receptor where the ligand (drug) will bind is very much important. Now a day, there is increasing computational power coupled with applicable software, has le...

Computer Aided Drug Discovery ( Structure - Based Andligand - Based ) Design

Driven by chemistry but increasingly guided by pharmacology and the clinical sciences, drug research has contributed more to the progress of medicine during the past century than any other scientific factor. Computer based drug design is an alternative to the conventional process of drug development. It involves modifying a known drug for new therapeutic indication using computer technology. It...

Computer-Aided Drug Discovery in Plant Pathology

Control of plant diseases is largely dependent on use of agrochemicals. However, there are widening gaps between our knowledge on plant diseases gained from genetic/mechanistic studies and rapid translation of the knowledge into target-oriented development of effective agrochemicals. Here we propose that the time is ripe for computer-aided drug discovery/design (CADD) in molecular plant patholo...
