“The Art of Molecular Docking: Optimizing Drug Interactions”

<p>Molecular docking is a computational method used in structure-based drug design (SBDD) to investigate the interactions between small molecules (ligands) and a target protein. It explores how the ligand binds to the protein&rsquo;s active site and predicts the optimal conformation, position, and orientation of the ligand within the binding site. This process aids in understanding the&nbsp;<strong>druggability</strong>&nbsp;(<em>Druggability refers to the ability of a target molecule, typically a protein or nucleic acid, to be modulated by a drug compound to produce a desired therapeutic effect</em>) and specificity of compounds against a particular target, guiding further lead optimization processes in drug discovery.</p> <p><a href="https://sidraarshad-40324.medium.com/the-art-of-molecular-docking-optimizing-drug-interactions-c0ff93387ad7"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
