Abstract:
PubChem ( https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov ) is a key chemical information resource, developed and maintained by the US National Institutes of Health. The present chapter describes how to find potential multitarget ligands from PubChem that would be tested in further experiments. While the protocol presented here uses PubChem's Web-based interfaces to allow users to follow it interactively, it can also be implemented in computer software by using programmatic access interfaces to PubChem (such as PUG-REST or E-Utilities).

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
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...
