Successful application of virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations against antimalarial molecular targets

Successful application of virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations against antimalarial molecular targets

The main challenge in the control of malaria has been the emergence of drug-resistant parasites. The presence of drug-resistant Plasmodium sp. has raised the need for new antimalarial drugs. Molecular modelling techniques have been used as tools to develop new drugs. In this study, we employed virtu...
