Shravani S. Pawar, Sachin H. Rohane
Abstract
In this paper, an overview on discovery studio docking program for analyze and modeling molecular structure, sequence of relevance to life science researcher. This software covers the areas such as ligand design, structure- based design, macromolecule design and engineering, simulations, pharmacophore modeling, quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR), ADME, predictive toxicity. Discovery Studio help to analyze activities such as anti-convulsant, anti-viral, antidepressant, antibacterial, anti-tubercular, anti-Alzheimer, anti-malarial, anti-cancer. This software gives better result correlation with in-view pharmacological activity. So, this is a helping tool for a researcher to minimize the time as well as cost of research activity and also gives better understanding to study ligand and receptor complex.
