- Keywords: in silico drug design, virtual screening, bioinformatics, molecular interactions, ADME-Tox, docking, amino-acid variations, compound collections, chemical space, QSAR, binding pockets & hot-spots...
- Philosophy: Find the tools you need for your project
- How ? In the section Computational Biology and Chemistry about 2900 tools (online & standalone) & databases/datasets, organized in different tables, collected over a decade that assist drug discovery, chemical biology & research in the field of pathophysiology & precision medicine. Tools are grouped into 3 main categories: Chemoinformatics, Related tools and Bioinformatics. The same software/database can be in different tables.
- History: ~400 "free" tools and databases in the area of drug design & structural bioinformatics were first published by Villoutreix et al. in Curr Protein Pept Sci. 2007, 8:381-411. When this site was launched in 2006, the focus was essentially on Virtual Ligand Screening and structural (3D) bioinformatics, thus the name VLS3D. Since then, some related topics have been added.
