The efficiency indices (EI's) have been derived from the experimental binding affinities of drug candidates to macromolecules. These 'two-in-one' measures include information on both pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of the candidate molecules. The time-consuming experimental measurement of binding affinities of extensive molecule libraries may become a bottle-neck of large scale generation and application of EI's.
