Abstract

The current chapter introduces different aspects of molecular docking technique in order to give an overview to the readers about the topics which will be dealt with throughout this volume. Like many other fields of science, molecular docking studies has experienced a lagging period of slow and steady increase in terms of acquiring attention of scientific community as well as its frequency of application, followed by a pronounced era of exponential expansion in theory, methodology, areas of application and performance due to developments in related technologies such as computational resources and theoretical as well as experimental biophysical methods. In the following sections the evolution of molecular docking will be reviewed and its different components including methods, search algorithms, scoring functions, validation of the methods, and area of applications plus few case studies will be touched briefly.
