GDoQ: GDoQ (Prediction of GLMU inhibitors using QSAR and AutoDock) is an open source platform for predicting inhibitors against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.Tb) drug target N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GLMU) protein. This is a potential drug target involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis.
The small molecule (NVS-SM2) enhances recognition of SMN2 transcripts by U1-U2 specifically by enhancing the affinity of U1 to the 5'-splice site of SMN exon 7. [13] There are limited examples of small molecules that target RNA and are approved drugs for the treatment of human disease.
TTD includes information about successful, clinical trial and research targets, approved, clinical trial and experimental drugs linked to their primary targets, new ways to access data by drug mode of action, recursive search of related targets or drugs, similarity target and drug searching, customized and whole data download, and standardized ...
Structure-based virtual screening approach includes different computational techniques that consider the structure of the receptor that is the molecular target of the investigated active ligands. Some of these techniques include molecular docking, structure-based pharmacophore prediction, and molecular dynamics simulations.
The phrase "drug design" is similar to ligand design (i.e., design of a molecule that will bind tightly to its target). [6] Although design techniques for prediction of binding affinity are reasonably successful, there are many other properties, such as bioavailability, metabolic half-life, and side effects, that first must be optimized before a ligand can become a safe and effictive drug.
An example drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) workflow. Binding of a drug to a protein often leads to ligand-induced stabilization of the protein. In DARTS, drug and control treated proteins are subjected to limited proteolysis and the extent of protein digestion can either be visualized on a gel or measured by mass spectrometry ...

This approach is known as "reverse pharmacology" or "target based drug discovery" (TDD). [5] However recent statistical analysis reveals that a disproportionate number of first-in-class drugs with novel mechanisms of action come from phenotypic screening [6] which has led to a resurgence of interest in this method.
