Abstract:
Nowadays the in silico scenario for drug design is totally dependent on structural biology and structural bioinformatics. A myriad of free bioinformatics applications and services have been posted on the web. This mini-review mentions web sites that are useful in structure-based drug design. The information is given in a logical manner, following the drug design process i.e. characterization of a protein target, modelling the protein using sequence homology, optimization of the protein structure and finally docking of small ligands into the active site.

SAR studies the intricate relationship between a drug's chemical structure and biological activity. It focuses on understanding how modifications to a drug's structure can influence its...
Drug Discovery: Overview
Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
