Computer-aided molecular design, 7.5 Credits
About the course
The course covers computational techniques to design and evaluate compounds in medicinal chemistry focusing on both pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Theory and practice is mixed to get the students solid knowledge and hands-on experience in areas such as receptor modeling, molecular docking, molecular dynamic simulations, pharmacophore modeling, statistical molecular design, quantitative structure activity relationships and binding affinity predictions. The course is focused on the computational part and no wet-lab is included. Pre-knowledge in medicinal chemistry, chemometrics, quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics is required.
