Computational Approaches in Drug Discovery and Design
Drug discovery is an expensive and complicated process. The drug must fulfill some criteria of being nontoxic, bioavailable, and potent. In the view of evermore stringent demands about efficacy, potency, and safety, the finding of the new drug-like molecu

Foreword
Ever since the cracking of the human genome in the beginning of the present century, scientists have been engaged in locating the drug targets and designing and developing novel drugs through the system’s approach. This has resulted in a tremendous reduction in research and production costs. Earlier, the drug design process used to take many decades and was carried out haphazardly without any direction. Already the surge in bioinformatics solutions has redefined the way drug trials are done and making a shift from in vitro to in silico. In this age of multiple drug resistance, in silico drug design could be used to shorten the time of discovery and this issue shall remain the biggest challenge for years to come. In the present fast changing scenario, it is difficult to manage expressive coherence in this rapidly growing area of drug designing. I am happy that Dr. Dev has ventured to collect twelve well-written chapters and has brought an edited book named “Computer-Aided Drug Design” to be published by Springer Nature, Singapore. I feel that the authors are quite successful in “fusing” the otherwise diverse
