نبذة مختصرة
Molecular docking is a powerful in silico (computational) method in drug discovery that predicts how small molecules (ligands) bind to target proteins, simulating the "lock-and-key" fit to understand drug-receptor interactions at an atomic level. It rapidly screens vast libraries of compounds, identifying potential drug candidates, optimizing lead compounds, and predicting binding affinity, significantly speeding up the drug design process by prioritizing molecules for expensive lab testing, leading to more targeted and efficient drug development.
