RATIONAL DRUG DESIGN

During the course, students will:

  • Have an understanding of the theoretical background and application of computer modelling in medicinal chemistry.
  • Understand the origins of intermolecular interactions, how to model them, and how to relate them to experimental data.
  • Appreciate the advantages and disadvantages (critical ability) of different modelling methodologies.

The course content is to introduce students to molecular modelling techniques as applied to drug design and generally Chemistry/Biochemistry with particular emphasis on the methods used and their underlying theory. The student should gain a basic understanding of the available computational methods and their theoretical foundations.

Course Topics:

  1. Direct (Structure-Based) and Indirect (Ligand Based) Approaches
  2. Chemometry and Molecular Similarities
  3. Molecular Dynamics

Two lessons per week.
