Design of peptidomimetics for inhibition of HER2 receptor dimerization by a combination of virtual screening, MD simulations, and QSAR in silico methods.

abstract：:High-throughput screening is utilized by pharmaceutical researchers and, increasingly, academic investigators to identify agents that act upon enzymes, receptors, and cellular processes. Screening hits include molecules that specifically bind the target and a greater number of non-specific compounds. It is necessary t...
