摘要
With GRID first published 23 years ago, and CoMFA 20 years ago, the two most widely known methods that apply molecular fields to drug discovery are now into their third decade. Are molecular-field-based methods still applicable to modern drug discovery? Are they old and outdated? Or are they maturing into their full potential?
