Homology-Based Modelling of Targets for Rational Drug Design
The current status in rational drug design using homology-based models is discussed, with focus on template selection, model building, model verification and strategies for drug design based on model structures. A novel approach for identification of unique binding site features from homology-based models, Protein Alpha Shape Similarity Analysis (PASSA) is described.
Keywords: drug design; homology model; model verification; protein alpha shape similarity analysis; template selection
