Novel search engine matches molecules in a flash
1 Comment Published by Orhan March 1st, 2007 in Bioinformatics, Pattern Recognition, Peptides, Technology.The technique uses the relative position of the atoms in a molecule to
quickly match molecules of a similar shape. This is a crucial step in
modern drug discovery, since similarly shaped molecules are like to
have similar bioactive effects, such as being able to bind to the same
protein, triggering a similar medicinal effect in the human body.
