Abstract:
Drug Design, often mentioned as rational drug design or just rational design. It is defined as the study of the shape of molecules in order to determine how they will bind receptors on cells or combine with other molecules. It is based on molecular shape or architecture is an alternative to blindly testing hundreds of molecules to see if one or more of them will bind cellular or molecular targets. The drug is an organic molecule, when it is bind to target site it can either inhibit or activate the function of a bio-molecule which results in therapeutic benefit.
