Abstract

Role of DFT in Drug Design: A Mini Review

Rahila Shaheena*

Density Functional Theory (DFT) is a Quantum Mechanical Method (QMM) which got great attention and widely used method for drug designing process in the past years. Now it is consider as most competent method for the pharmaceutical studies. DFT is use to describe biological and molecular systems in a very less cost and with high accuracy. Applications of DFT in drug design are discussed in this paper in detail. Overview of importance of DFT in drug design, accuracy and recent role of DFT in COVID-19 has been discussed. The conclusion of all sections has been presented in the end of paper.
