INTRODUCTION

The simple answer to whats holding the industry back in terms of adoption of latest drug discovery techniques is Education. There simply aren't enough individuals trained on the use of Proteomics, Virtual Screening, Molecular Docking, Simulations, Dynamics and ADMET- multidisciplinary approaches, which is why we continue to offer courses, for both novice and experienced users, on the use of this technology as it applies to their research functions.

 

Structure-based drug design seeks to identify and optimize specific attractive interactions between two partner molecules in biological systems between ligands and their host molecules, typically proteins. The use of computers accelerates the process of drug design which is a time intensive process, and also reduces the cost of whole process.

 

This one day training course will focus on the use of efficient technologies used in the discovery & designing of Drugs on the basis of the biological targets critical to the disease condition. During this course, you will be introduced to basic principles of Rational Drug Design along with Proteomics in Drug Discovery. The course includes hands-on exercises in the Structure based drug design approach.

  

TOPICS:

• Introduction of Drug Designing

• Science involved in disease target identification 

• Virtual screening

 

Practical application will be done on 5-10 molecules and the software on which Demonstration & Training will be given are :

 

• In-silico generation of ligands by ChemSketch

• Conversion of Mol files to Pdb files by Open Babel

• Protein optimization & Energy Minimization by SPDBV

• Molecular Docking by MGL Tools | Creation of Grid Parameter & Dock Parameter files by AutoDock Software

• Running the Docking Algorithm by Cygwin

• Selection of potent inhibitors on the basis of binding energies(delta G) and Lipinski's Rule of 5

• Creating docking complex

• Structure Analysis- Protein & ligand complex & H-bond interaction by UCSF Chimera

• Prediction of Molecular Properties- Molinspiration

• Prediction of Bioactivity- Molinspiration & ACD iLabs

• Drug Likeness- Mol Soft

• Bioavailability & ADME- ACD iLabs

• Toxicity- OSIRIS Property Explorer & ACD iLabs
