    method predicting how molecules fit and interact together

    Molecular docking is a method used in computational biology to predict how two molecules, such as a drug and its target protein, fit together. Imagine it like a 3D puzzle where scientists use computer simulations to see how well the pieces (molecules) align and interact, which helps in designing effective medications.
