Background
In the pursuit of novel therapeutics, understanding the intricacies of protein structures is fundamental. Proteins are indispensable players in biological processes and serve as primary targets for drug development. However, the design of connected regions within protein structures presents a considerable challenge. These regions, often crucial for molecular recognition and protein-protein interactions, demand meticulous attention to detail. Traditional experimental approaches for manipulating these regions are often time-consuming and resource-intensive. Herein lies the critical role of computer-aided drug design, where computational tools and algorithms can revolutionize the way we perceive and modulate protein structures.
