Author(s): Elisa Nunna*
Drug design plays a pivotal role in the development of new therapeutic interventions to combat a wide range of diseases. It involves a multidisciplinary approach that combines elements of chemistry, biology, computational modeling, and pharmacology to create effective and safe medications. This abstract provides an overview of the principles and methodologies involved in modern drug design, highlighting the innovations and challenges in this dynamic field. The process of drug design begins with the identification of a specific disease target, such as a protein or enzyme involved in the disease pathway. Researchers employ various techniques, including high-throughput screening, virtual screening, and structure-based design, to identify and optimize potential drug candidates. Advances in computational modeling and simulation have revolutionized drug discovery, enabling the prediction of.. View More»
