SwissTargetPrediction is a web-based tool, available online since 2014, designed to predict the most probable protein targets of small molecules. The predictions are based on the principle of similarity through reverse screening.

Molecular docking is an in silico method used to predict how and how strongly a ligand binds to the binding site of a target protein. It is widely used in drug discovery and drug design.

Packmol enables the creation of initial configurations for molecular dynamics simulations by packing molecules into defined regions of space. Various spatial constraints that can be applied to molecules or their atoms facilitate the creation of ordered systems such as layered, spherical or tubular lipid structures.

This tutorial covers the basic principles of the homology modeling method used to predict the three-dimensional structures of proteins and the implementation steps via the SWISS-MODEL tool. The workflow offered by SWISS-MODEL is explained in five basic steps, from entering the target protein sequence to selecting appropriate templates, from building the model to quality assessment.
