Computer-aided drug design in particular becomes much more tractable when there is a high-resolution structure of a target protein bound to a potent ligand.
As such, it is still relatively tractable and forms the starting point for more advanced theories that deal with interactions, e.g., using the perturbation theory.
Because many myrmecophilous relationships are easily manipulable and tractable, they allow for testing and experimentation that may not be possible in other interactions.
