Open3DQSAR is primarily used for , helping medicinal chemists identify which specific regions of a molecule contribute most to its biological activity. By generating 3D contour maps, the software visually highlights favorable and unfavorable zones for steric and electrostatic interactions. This "phantom receptor" approach is particularly valuable when the 3D structure of the target protein is unknown, as it relies purely on information derived from known active ligands. Methodology The typical workflow involves: Molden interface to open3DQSAR
