“…Irreversible warheads pose a challenge in terms of modeling due to the direct relationship between the transition state and the kinetic rate constant (kinact). 61,102,107 Modeling this class of inhibitors requires a more complex approach. In contrast, reversible covalent inhibitors can be more readily modeled using X-ray co-crystalized structures of the inhibitor with the target protein.…”

“…Thus, in certain situations, quantum mechanics-based (QM) methods are required to accurately capture these effects with high accuracy. 61,107 Nonetheless, due to their significant computational demands, QM-based methods are generally avoided in drug discovery projects and are typically restricted to a limited number of atoms. Still, there are situations where QM-based methods can be of interest, such as when determining quantum parameters for developing quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
