SUMMARY:Essentials of Computer-Assisted Drug Design
DESCRIPTION:This introductory course will be especially valuable to bo
 th industrial and academic chemists and other R&D scientists who wish 
 to use computer-based methods to enhance the productivity of their res
 earch in the fields of organic chemistry\, medicinal chemistry\, bioch
 emistry\, or molecular design for pharmaceutical or agrochemical appli
 cations. The relevant medicinal chemistry background and concepts will
  be presented. While covering the fundamental concepts behind the meth
 ods\, this course will provide a strong focus on the practical aspects
  of computational chemistry and computer-assisted drug design. The cou
 rse instructors will present an overview of approaches for both ligand
  and target discovery such as similarity searching\, pharmacophore mod
 eling\, QSAR\, structure-based drug design (docking and scoring)\, vir
 tual screening\, ADMET property prediction\, as well as relevant eleme
 nts of bioinformatics (DNA and protein sequence and structure analysis
 ).
