Abstract
Lead identification and optimisation have evolved into multidimensional, multidisciplinary and information-driven processes. Herein, we review the contribution of computational chemistry to these processes. We focus on computational approaches developed for modelling biopharmaceutical properties, including in vitro activity, selectivity, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity. Whenever possible, successful applications are mentioned.
Keywords: lead discovery, lead optimisation, molecular descriptors, pharmacophores, quantitative structure-activity relationships

Advances in the design of antibody & protein with conformational dynamics and artificial intelligence approaches
“Antibodies & Protein Design” section focuses on the utilization of multiple strategies to engineer and optimize antibodies and proteins that serve diverse analytical strategies, such as combinatorial protein design, structure-based design, sequence-based design, and other techniques that incorporate principles of protein-protein interactions, allosteric regulation, and post-translational modifications. Example applications include ...read more

Recently infectious and inflammatory diseases have been a key concern worldwide due to tremendous morbidity and mortality world Wide. Recent, nCOVID-9 pandemic is a good example for the emerging infectious disease outbreak. The world is facing many emerging and re-emerging diseases out breaks at present however, there is huge lack ...read more
Exploring Spectral Graph Theory in Combinatorial Chemistry
Combinatorial chemistry involves the synthesis and analysis of a large number of diverse compounds simultaneously. Traditional methods rely on brute-force experimentation, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Spectral graph theory, a branch of mathematics dealing with the properties of graphs in relation to the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices associated ...read more
