Molecular docking and MD: mimicking the real biological process
-
Varruchi Sharma
Abstract
In the processes of molecular docking and simulation studies; the computational techniques have a vast and significant role in drug discovery process. The rigid view in the binding of both target and ligand is the basis of modeling strategy process. More evolution to such processes with the time has lead in revealing the path of understanding the dynamic nature of binding processes. In this chapter we have focused on molecular docking along with dynamic studies in reference to biological processes.
