Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Modeling: An Integration to Teach Drug Structure-Activity Relationship and the Molecular Basis of Drug Action

Carvalho, Ivone; Borges, Aurea D. L.; Bernardes, Lilian S. C.

Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n4 p588-596 Apr 2005

The use of computational chemistry and the protein data bank (PDB) to understand and predict the chemical and molecular basis involved in the drug-receptor interactions is discussed. A geometrical and chemical overview of the great structural similarity in the substrate and inhibitor is provided.
