How to Select a Target Protein for Computational Drug Discovery
Selecting the right target protein is a critical first step in computational drug discovery. A well-chosen target increases the likelihood that virtual screening, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations will yield meaningful and biologically relevant results.
This tutorial introduces practical and beginner-friendly approaches to identifying and validating target proteins. The focus is on conceptual understanding, not software-specific instructions. Future tutorials from Idgence Research will explore each method in detail with hands-on examples.
