This thesis describes the importance of being able to control the selectivity of potential drug candidates. It explains how computational models are employed to predict and rationalize compound-protein binding (affinity) and therewith, selectivity of compounds. Moreover, it shows that selectivity can purposely be tuned to target either a single protein or an entire panel of proteins. The challenges of selectivity modeling are addressed based on case studies in the sodium-dependent glucose co-transporters, G protein-coupled receptors, and kinases.
