Abstract:
:Molecular dynamics simulations and the generation of ad hoc chemical libraries are playing an increasingly important and recognized role in structure-based virtual screening. These approaches are important for treating target flexibility and improving the drug discovery pipeline. In this article I will comment on these two topics and put them into perspective.
