Bioinformatics tools provides information about potential targets that include nucleotide and protein sequencing information, protein and gene expression data, prediction of the function, information of the pathway, mapping information, disease associations, information of the structure, and taxonomic distribution, among others. This helps in reducing time, effort, and money in characterization of different targets. The field of bioinformatics has thus become a major component of the drug discovery pipeline, playing a vital role for validating drug targets. Table 1.4 illustrates some of the most commonly used software for drug design, along with their descriptions.

Table 1.4 The list of softwares used in the steps of drug designing is represented in tabular form.
