The cost of developing a single drug is increasing every year. An enormous number of experiments must be conducted before a drug can be brought to market, and this is one of the reasons for the increase in costs. In recent years, it has become common practice to conduct computer simulations to identify compounds that are likely to become drugs before conducting actual experiments. In our laboratory, we are designing drugs using computers and elucidating the functions of biomolecules using computer simulations.
