The fоllоwing is аn excerpt frоm а recent scientific publicаtion:“Covalent molecular docking has been recently implemented in the computer‑aided drug design workflows to describe covalent interactions between inhibitors and biological targets. … these types of inhibitors derive their activity from both non‑covalent interactions and the formation of the covalent bond between the inhibitor and the target protein … covalent docking programs … integrate conventional non‑covalent docking and scoring schemes by modeling the newly formed covalent bond and the interactions occurring at the reaction site.” What key feature distinguishes covalent docking workflows compared to standard noncovalent docking?

Some of our clients worry that these approaches increase hidden exposure. Others believe they provide the best tools to manage risk. I’d like you to lay out for me, in practical terms, how you would explain these concerns to a client, including what you would emphasize about the strengths, limitations, and implementation challenges of these strategies. Also, explain how performance attribution can help clients understand whether these strategies are working as intended.”
