Molecular modelling techniques in environmental research

Abstract

Over the last few decades significant increase in computational methods ( in silico ) was annotated. Novel methods have been developed and applied for hypothesis improvement and testing in regions of industrial, pharmaceutical and environmental research. The term in silico methods include variety of approaches. Considerable attention has been attracted to databases, data analysis tools, quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR), pharmacophore models, molecular docking and dynamics, pharmacokinetics and other molecular modelling techniques. In silico methods are often accompanied
