Drug design but not necessarily relies on computer modeling techniques. This type of modeling is sometimes referred to as computer-aided drug design. Finally, drug design that relies on the knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of the biomolecular target is known as structure-based drug design.

The phrase "drug design" is to some extent a misnomer. A more accurate term is ligand design (i.e., design of a
