Target-based drug discovery through inversion of quantitative structure-drug-property relationships and molecular simulation: CA IX-sulphonamide complexes.

In this work, a target-based drug screening method is proposed exploiting the synergy effect of ligand-based and structure-based computer-assisted drug design.
