摘要
Random discovery deserves the credit for many of the important pharmaceutical agents in use today. The future of drug development may take shape differently. Powerful computers and detailed knowledge of the chemical structure of drug targets may enable researchers to create an image of such a target and then work backward to design an appropriate therapeutic molecule.
