3D QSAR
https://www.profacgen.com/3D-QSAR.htm The research and development of therapeutic drugs is an expensive and time-consuming process. So far, many scientific methods have been applied for drug design, and one of the most popular approaches is computer-aided drug design (CADD). Taking advantage of computational techniques, the modeling of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) explores the relationship between chemical structures and biological activity of a given set of small molecules. The resulting QSAR models can be used to predict the activities of new chemicals, including affinities of ligands to their binding sites, inhibition constants, rate constants and others, based on certain structural features or with atomic, group or molecular properties, such as lipophilicity, polarizability, electronic and steric properties. As an extension to the classical QSAR approaches pioneered by Hansch and Free-Wilson, 3D-QSAR exploits the three-dimensional properties of the ligands to predict their biological activities using robust chemometric techniques such as PLS, G/PLS and ANN etc. This method can effectively guide the selection of promising compounds that need to be synthesized and predict the activity of those compounds leading to the structural optimization.
