What’s molecular docking?
Molecular docking is a computer tool used to simulate interactions between molecules. This is useful for evaluating chemical reactions before assessing them in cultured cells or a living organism.
doTERRA® researchers use molecular docking to see how essential oil constituents will interact with protein targets inside of cells. Though there’s still a lot of investigation ahead, doTERRA is beginning to piece together the complex scientific puzzle of the essential oil experience using innovative discovery methods like molecular docking.
