REVIEW ON COMPUTER AIDED DRUG DESIGN

Abstract

Computer-aided drug design (CADD) is a growing scientific field with various facets. The development of large quantities of compounds and the requirement to study these massive libraries in short periods of time characterise modern drug research. Computer-aided drug design was born out of the necessity to store, organise, and evaluate these constantly expanding resources (CADD). CADD stands for computational approaches and resources that aid in the development and discovery of novel therapeutics. The two types of methods commonly in use are structure-based drug design and ligand-based drug design. Key words- CADD, Modern drug discovery, Bioinformatics, Databases, Techniques, Ligand based, Structure based.
