COMPUTATIONAL
METABOLISM
There is a great need to be able to predict the metabolites
formed by new chemicals, especially pharmaceuticals in calculo.
The same general principles used in computational toxicology
are also applied to the metabolism problem.
Metabolism
prediction systems can be used to classify new chemicals
as to which enzymes catalyze them, as well as calculate
the rate of catalysis for various transformations. Applications
range from individual chemical studies to HTS situations.
