TEXT-BOOK OF COMPUTER AIDED DRUG DESIGN

<p>Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) revolutionizes the drug discovery process by integrating computational techniques into the design and optimization of pharmaceutical compounds. Originating in the 1960s CADD has evolved to encompass various methods such as molecular modeling QSAR and molecular docking. These techniques enable researchers to predict molecular properties assess drug-receptor interactions and optimize drug candidates with improved efficacy and safety profiles. By leveraging computational tools CADD accelerates the drug development pipeline offering insights into molecular mechanisms and facilitating the design of novel therapeutics tailored to specific targets and diseases.</p><p><br></p>
