WORKSHOP ON MOLECULAR MODELLING and DRUG DESIGN
AUGUST 2 - 7, 2010
Objectives of the Workshop
• To familiarize basic concepts of computational chemistry/biology for drug design
• Hands on training in various computational chemistry/biology packages
• Case studies on drug discovery projects using CADD methods
About the Workshop
The workshop is so designed that the participants would spend about 50% of time in learning from lectures covering basic concepts of computational chemistry with emphasis on drug design and drug discovery. The other 50% of time they will acquire hands-on experience on useful computational chemistry tools applied to drug design and drug discovery, through elucidation of some case studies.
Topics Covered
• Semi-empirical Methods
• Quantum Mechanical (ab initio) Methods
• Molecular Mechanics
• Molecular Dynamics
• Sequence Analysis and Homology modeling
• Molecular Docking
• QSAR
• Free Energy Calculation Methods
• Fragment Based Drug Design
• Drug Discovery Case Studies
