Advancing the description of `mysterious` water to improve drug design
(PHYSorg.com Physics)

Interactions with water dominate how drug molecules bind to targets, but it`s tricky to model these interactions, limiting the accuracy of drug design. In a recent paper in The Journal of Chemical Physics, from AIP Publishing, William A. Goddard III and Saber Naserifar from the California Institute of Technology describe their novel approach to building a new description of water (known as a force field) and demonstrate its accuracy.
