title: [Molecular modelling and drug design].
abstract: Molecular modelling techniques are widely used in the chemical, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. The design of new molecules in the Health field cannot be conceived without the fundamental help of these techniques. After a concise presentation of the bases of molecular mechanics and dynamics, we will discuss of the available techniques panel.
