Application Of Computational Methods In Pharmaceuticals And Biotechnology
Computational methods refer to the use of mathematical and statistical anal￾ysis tools to handle data, study data and come up with solutions to different
problems. In the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology fields, these methods have
various applications. In this study, we analyze five important methods widely
applied in the healthcare industry: surface thermodynamic theory and empirical
and correlative theories to determine surface tension of drugs, R factor method
to analyze quality of molecular models and finally chemometric methods called
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Squares Regression.
The results obtained investigate the effectiveness of these methods and con￾clude that they are vital in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
