Abstract: . In recent years an effort has been made to supplement traditional
methods for drug discovery by computer-assisted "structure-based
design." The structure-based approach involves (among other issues) reasoning
about the geometry of drug molecules (or ligands) and about the
different spatial conformations that these molecules can attain. This is
a preliminary report on a set of tools that we are devising to assist the
chemist in the drug design process. We describe our work on the following... (Update)
