Kuvaus
This course gives an understanding of how drugs interact with macromolecules and strategies for how this information can be used in designing novel therapeutics using computational methods. The computational strategies based on the 3D structures of small molecules are also presented. The course contains lectures and computer exercises on ligand-based and structure-based drug design, drug-protein interactions, ligand docking, conformational analysis, pharmacophore hypothesis and quantitative structure-activity relationship.
