Molecular Docking: A useful approach of Drug Discovery on the Basis of their Structure

Abstract

Molecular docking is important tool for drug discovery. It provides a valuable tool for drug design and analysis. The most important application of molecular docking is virtual screening. In this review, we present a introduction of methods of molecular docking, and their development and applications in drug discovery. Many docking programs has developed to visualize the three dimensional structure of molecule and docking score can also get with computational methods. This article includes information on molecular docking, molecular modeling, types of docking, molecular docking models, basic requirement of molecular docking, molecular approach, evaluation, applications software available for molecular docking.
