What is it about?

Training pilots in flight simulator is always cheaper than training them in real jet fighters. Developing drugs in silico is the same. There are in fact many drug-developing processes can be carried out by bioinformatic tools. This paper offers a glimpse of the common bioinformatic approaches.

Why is it important?

I currently have three different drugs fighting something or fighting each other within my body. It is important to know how they are developed and what they do in my body.

Perspectives

Drugs developed mostly in silico will be available in a drugstore near you soon .......
