Current computer-aided drug design methodologies in discovery of novel drug candidates for neuropsychiatric and inflammatory diseases

Drug discovery and development is a very challenging, expensive and time-consuming process. Impressive technological advances in computer sciences and molecular biology have made it possible to use computer-aided drug design (CADD) methods in various stages of the drug discovery and development pipe...
