Computer assisted drug design CADD

Computer-assisted drug design (CADD), also called computer-assisted molecular design (CAMD), represents more recent applications of computers as tools in the drug design process, though it does not replace the human element in analyzing the data. 

It was also clear that calculation of log Poet for the immense variety of structures that might be considered in computer-assisted drug design (CADD) would be impractical based on the 7i-system, and thus fragmental and whole molecule approaches have dominated these calculations. Since it plays such a pivotal role in the Hammett-Hansch QSAR methodology, the basis for log Poet calculation will be examined in some detail because, even though they lack a firm, theoretical basis, the calculation details can often be as useful in CADD as the bottom line number.
