摘要
Quantum mechanics (QM) not only allow one to characterize the structure, dynamics and energetics of ligands but also enable the description of the electronic properties. This review covers some recent applications of QM in drug design with emphasis on target-based studies carried out on pharmacologically relevant protein systems. It is shown how this technique has been exploited to deal with modeling aspects of selected targets. Using several representative examples, it is illustrated how QM methods have helped to improve the drug discovery process.
