The increasing availability of data related to genes, proteins and their modulation by small molecules has provided a vast amount of biological information leading to the emergence of systems biology and the broad use of simulation tools for data analysis. However, there is a critical need to develop cheminformatics tools that can integrate chemical knowledge with these biological databases and simulation approaches, with the goal of creating systems chemical biology.
与基因、蛋白质及其受小分子调控相关的数据日益丰富,这提供了大量生物学信息,促使系统生物学的兴起以及数据分析模拟工具的广泛应用。然而,迫切需要开发化学信息学工具,这些工具能够将化学知识与这些生物数据库及模拟方法整合起来,目标是创建系统化化学生物学。
