Ligand-Macromolecular Interactions in Drug Discovery Methods and Protocols

Drug research has been greatly transformed by the "omics revolution" and advances in computational tools, combinatorial chemistry, and high throughput screening techniques (HTS). These implements have advanced the ability to identify target molecules that serve as points of attack for futu...
