Tutorials of 3D drug design by AI and de novo method


1. Introduction

In this tutorial, the standard protocol of MolAICal (https://doi.org/10.1093/bib/bbaa161) is introduced for the drug design of glucagon receptor (GCGR) by artificial intelligence and de novo method. It will help the pharmacologist, chemists and other scientists design rational drugs according to three-dimensional active pocket of proteins.
