| Sumario: | Molecular docking is recognized a part of computer-aided drug design that is mostly used in medicinal chemistry. It has proven to be an effective, quick, and low-cost technique in both scientific and corporate contexts. It helps in rationalizing the ligands activity towards a target to perform structure-based drug design (SBDD). Docking assists the revealing of novel compound of therapeutic interest, forecasting ligand-protein interaction at a molecular basis and delineating structure activity relationships (SARs). Molecular docking acts as a boon to identify promising agents in emergence of diseases which endangering the human health. In this chapter, we engrossed on the techniques, types, opportunities, challenges and success stories of molecular docking in drug development. |
