D.9.3+Drug+Design


 * D.9.3 Discuss how computers are used in drug design**

Advantages of Computers in Drug Design:
 * enable the accurate visualization of a three-dimensional chemical model
 * distinct time advantage over hand building model kits
 * able to program the computer to "build" a model within the constraints of a chemical model
 * eg. An enzyme inhibitor needs an active site compatible with that enzyme. The computer can be programmed to theoretically change the chemical structure of the inhibitor to fit with the particular enzyme
