Understanding Small Molecule Drugs and High Throughput Screening
Small molecule drugs are represented as graphs in which nodes represent atoms and bonds, mainly viewed in 2D. In drug development, high throughput screening involves scanning a vast number of compounds to identify those with desired biological activity. Chemists then optimize these compounds to enhance properties like solubility and reduce toxicity through reactions conducted in real labs.
