Quick Guideline for Computational Drug Design - A. Hammad Mirza

PREFACE
The discussion of the bulk amount of informational data in biological sciences is still an understatement. The bioinformatics studies are being practiced in all over the world by universities, scientific groups, international and national companies and consortia, and it would not be underestimating if bioinformatics will be thought of as bedrock of future biological sciences. Bioinformatics evolved into complete interdisciplinary science to solve the biological problems by utilizing statistical, mathematical and computational approaches. Furthermore, the recording, annotation, storage, analyses, and searching/retrieval of biological information and representing this concluded information in order to understand various pathways, to educate ourselves, to understand biological processes in disease and healthy states, and also find potential drugs are only some aspects of bioinformatics. The conjuring of new ‘Big-Data’ associated typically with enormous databases of protein/gene sequences, and functional/structural information into which novel proteins and genes sequences are constantly deposited, can easily be searched by remote computer access with already known sequences. Numerous bioinformatics tools are freely available on the Internet to whoever wants to utilize them and it is impossible to list them all. The ability to collect, save, annotate, analyze, and distributes the biological information retrieved from sequencing and functional analyses is significant for modern biology. This is the reason behind the wide spread belief that the long run significance of bioinformatics approaches lies not much in the available tools, but in the annotation of data and concluding logical information that bioinformatics delivers for the improvement of life sciences.
Bioinformatics is to solve the biological problems with advanced computational manners by applying statistical and mathematical approaches. Structural bioinformatics is to predict and analyze 3D structures of macromolecules while Computer aided drug designing (CADD) helps scientists to design effective active molecules against diseases. However, the concept of structural bioinformatics including CADD is still hard to grasp for students and even more for educated laymen.
As a beginner, I fall into the first category with regards to this subject. Indeed, I first learn all these guidelines and tools for myself; in order to learn new emerging trends and approach my work with greater awareness about computational skills in biological problems. I felt that I need better insight into the CADD to achieve and improve the drug designing to reduce the time phase and resources. When I consulted the literature on this topic, I found that although there are many papers and books on the subject, the exact step by step working of basic tools and thorough analyses of generated results that I was looking for were scattered throughout them. I then began taking notes, and when I was finally satisfied, I discussed this with my colleague and a good friend (Rana Adnan Tahir). We realized after organizing the data in a suitable presentation, that it was potentially interesting for students and new learners to have visually detailed step by step working of tools and identify a lead compound. We believe that a better understanding of these concepts requires a more satisfactory verbal explanation than is visually provided, since, in our opinion, a visual step by step approach is the one closer to the understanding capability of non-experts and even for our own students. This is why this book is focused on providing a visual account and step by step guideline to identify a lead compound by computational means. In this sense, we deem that, besides the verbal working of tools, a visual step by step explanation can be very useful regarding designing of the compounds for the people who do not have a full understanding of it yet. Thus, we eventually came up with the present work, targeted to students and non-experts who are specifically interested in this domain and have a basic knowledge of structural
