How can scientists design drugs that target harmful pathogens without damaging the human body?
In this Biology Project 1 explanation, Anam Mustafa introduces the fascinating world of computational drug design using subtractive genomics and molecular docking. Learn how genetic information, essential genes, pathogen proteins, and candidate compounds are studied to identify potential drug targets.
This project at Source Code Academia guides students through data collection using NCBI, genome comparison, essential protein selection, drug-target validation, molecular docking, and compound analysis.
Discover how biology, bioinformatics, genetics, and drug discovery come together to solve real-world medical problems.
