The basic diatom nanostructure is a lattice of SiO2, and computerized methods in a dock project have identified the most likely and the best drug types to load into such a structure. %K diatom %K docking %K artificial neural network %K simulation %K computerized methods %U https://www.dovepress.com/computer-simulation-of-a-novel-pharmaceutical-silicon-nanocarrier-peer-reviewed-article-NSA
