A powerful computational technique used by the pharmaceutical industry to expedite new drug development has just received a performance boost. Chandra Verma and his co-workers at the A*STAR Bioinformatics Institute in Singapore have developed a method for extracting greater information from the simulations that are used to predict how candidate drug molecules will interact with biomolecular targets. The technique could enable drug makers to create highly effective medicines for a broader range of individuals.
