Rational Drug Design
Rational Drug Design is a process of developing and discovering new drugs by studying the target of the drug. The intended target of a drug is usually a protein or receptor which can be activated or blocked when targeted by a drug. In order for rational drug design to be effective, the investigators must first obtain significant knowledge of the target including its structure, function, and mechanisms in which it participates.
