  • Abstract
    One of the major offshoots of bioinformatics is computer-aided drug design. Researchers at a university in Sweden have used bioinformatics software alone to develop new potential drug candidates against an essential enzyme of the malaria-inducing parasite, plasmodium falciparum. It is obvious that computational drug design has come to stay
