Abstract

Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) is an innovative approach that combines computational method and technique to expedite the drug discovery and development process. By utilizing computer algorithms, molecular modelling, and stimulations, CADD helps in identifying potential drug candidates, predicting their interactions with target protein, and optimizing their properties. This abstract explores the various components of CADD, including virtual screening, molecular docking, and quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) analysis, highlighting its significant impact on accelerating the drug discovery pipeline and improving the efficiency of pharmaceutical research.

Keywords: Molecular modelling, molecular docking, molecular dynamics stimulations, QSAR technique, bioinformatics.
