Abstract

At present-day, computers are so communal in pharmaceutical research and development that it may be rough to visualize a time when there were no computers to help the medicinal chemist or biologist. Nowadays, computers are completely essential for generating, managing, and transmitting information. The primary computers were designed for military and accounting applications, but gradually it became apparent that computers would have a massive number of uses.
