THEME OF THE SYMPOSIUM AND WORKSHOP
Structural Bioinformatics and in silico drug discovery methods reduce both time and cost of development of novel drug/lead molecules. Knowledge about the molecule, its interaction with the drug, molecular modeling, and new drug development creates an awareness of the molecule at the organ level and also aids in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. Computational tools have the advantage of delivering new lead candidates more quickly and at lower cost. In the 21stin silico methods to facilitate target identification, structure prediction and lead/drug discovery. The computational methods expect more reliable and expeditious protocols for development of novel ideas, which increase the potential leads. The computer-assisted molecular design has succeeded in the QSAR and protein modeling algorithms to improve activity of lead compounds. Selecting candidates via the described in silico virtual screening, should help to reduce the list of candidate molecules and thereby reduce time and costs significantly. X-ray crystallography is the ultimate method to determine the 3-dimensional structures of biologically large and small molecules at atomic resolution. Crystallographic studies also provide unambiguous, accurate, and reliable 3-dimensional structural parameters, which are prerequisites for rational drug design and structure-based functional studies. This will encourage th rapid development of the structure-based drug design.
SBCADD’2010 symposium cum workshop aims to bring together professors, researchers and students, working in academic research institutes, universities and industries, to a common platform, where they can interact, present their results and exchange information and understanding on recent advances in the field of Structural Bioinformatics and Computer Aided Drug Design. Invited talks on emerging areas by eminent experts from various academic research institutes , universities and industries. The workshop will help beginners to gain knowledge regarding the recent trends. Poster presentation of contributed papers will be an integral part of this symposium.
Participants Research Scientists, Research Scholars, Students and Faculty members from the Universities, Institutes and Industries.
