International Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
Special Issue on
Computational Chemistry in Drug Discovery and
Development
CALL FOR PAPERS
Computers become indispensable in every aspect of today’s life. Technological
advancement in this field has made simulation and prediction, using huge set of data,
close to reality within reasonable time frame. Application of this approach to “Drug
Discovery and Development” pipeline provided success in reducing the duration of
discovery process with significant reduction in investment. Yet the number of success
stories is dearer than expected. This may be attributed to the approximations in
defining complex biological system due to currently available computational power
and resources. This provides a continuous challenge to the scientific community to
come out with the better hardware as well as software tools to meet the challenges.
