Abstract | Proteins constitute the main group of molecular targets for most approved drugs. Moreover, more than 50% of drugs target proteins are derived from only four gene families: class I G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), nuclear receptors, ligand-gated ion channels and voltage-gated ion channels. The above facts make the prediction of protein structures and the design of ligands which modulate their activity an essential skill for a contemporary medicinal chemist. However, both medicinal chemistry and bioinformatics are often neglected in circulars for chemistry and pharmacy studies. |
