ABOUT JNIAS:

JNIAS is a Research and Educational Institution recognized by University Grants Commission (UGC) and included under section 2(f) and 12(B) of the UGC Act, 1956. JNIAS is also recognized as an Advanced Research Institute by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTUH), Hyderabad and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Anantapur (JNTUA), Anantapur for offering Ph.D., P.G, M.Phil, P.G. Diploma and academic projects and training Programmes in Sciences, Engineering & Technology and Humanities and Social Sciences.

ABOUT SCHRODINGER:

Discovering new drug molecules today is becoming increasingly expensive and challenging . The need to identify new drugs is becoming necessary due to resistance with the existing drugs and availability of new drug targets. Recent developments in Computational lead identification and optimization methods have proven successful in many recent research programs to identify novel lead molecules. In recent years biologics market is growing exponentially in the field of oncology, rheumatology, neurology, cardiology, and gastroenterology. Computational designing of ovel biologics are increasingly necessary for treatment of non-curable diseases. Computational methods help to analyze the protein-protein interfaces, antibody modeling, protein engineering for property modulation such as solubility, affinity and stability. Schrodinger Inc. a USA based organization has brought many breakthrough methodologies in these both areas.

• The workshop focuses on providing training on various topics related to recent methods in the computational drug design like, protein structure prediction, structure based docking methods using Glide and Induced fit docking and ligand based methods like Pharmacophore modeling and QSAR studies
• This workshop is designed to be useful to researchers/students/faculty, who intends to get trained in computer -aided drug design and understand its applications in research
• Programme schedule includes introduction of the topic by Schrodinger scientists followed by Hands on Schrodinger software.

Day 1: Modules
• Receptor based drug designing
• Homology Modeling of GPCR proteins
• Identification and evaluation of Binding pockets in a protein
• Recent Developments in Docking Scoring Functions

Day 2: Modules
• Ligand based methods in Drug discovery
• Pharmacophore modelling and virtual screening of Anti-cancer compounds
• Prediction of ADME properties for a given set of compounds
• Methods in QSAR modeling
