In the field of computational biology and bioinformatics, protein affinity prediction is a structural bioinformatics technique that predicts the binding affinity of a ligand to a specified protein. It helps in the discovery and development of potential drug compounds. The prediction process helps researchers and drug developers to identify successful drug candidates that have a greater chance of interacting strongly and effectively with the target protein. At CD ComputaBio, our unique ability to use powerful computational algorithms helps to accurately predict the binding energy values of proteins and ligands. Our tools can efficiently identify and evaluate protein-protein ligand or DNA interactions, providing important support for developing new drugs or modifying the biological activity of known protein ligands.
