Drug Repurposing by DrugRep | Drug Discovery | Novel Treatment | Lecture 90 | Dr. Muhammad Naveed

DrugRep is a computer-aided drug discovery online tool for virtual screening of drugs, particularly for drug repurposing. We integrated our recent developed screening approaches with a group of popular methods to create DrugRep. It performs the receptor-based or ligand-based screening over drug libraries for a given receptor or ligand. The screening results are ranked according to the docking scores or similarity scores, and exhibited as tables of the drug information, together with interactive 3D viewers for further analysis.
