In Silico Technologies in Drug Design

Gowthami Bainaboina*

In Silico technologies are developed particularly as an alternate to animal experimentation. In Silico drug design is performed in computers using computational software is known as in silico drug design. In Silico is an expression used to perform on computer stimulations. Since electronic chips used in the computers are usually made up of silicon. It is to analyze the target structures for possible binding sites. And it is used for candidate molecules, checking for their drug likeness. Drug Design: It is the inventive process of finding new medication based on the knowledge of a biological target and the selected knowledge design should be organic small molecule , opposite charge to the biological target. In the drug design the molecule will interact with target that bind to the target , and it activates or inhibits the function of bio molecule such as protein.
