Abstract:
In this modern and digital era, Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) plays a crucial role in the process of discovery and development of drugs. CADD represents the computational techniques and resources that are used to facilitate the design and discovery of new leads which reduces the cost up to 50% in the drug design process. When executed on the manual basis, discovery and development of new drug becomes an interdisciplinary, highly expensive and time consuming process. Consequently human minds are replaced by the machines where CADD technology has given rise major significant factor in the field of chemo informatics. An eye over these Computer Aided Drug Design techniques broach this paper, which shows the brief overview on the current advancement and new mindset in the field of chemistry to design new leads.
