Schrödinger seminars, Spain, Nov. 4 and Nov. 6

The Application of Recent Advances in Biomolecular Modeling to Drug Discovery Problems

We are pleased to invite you to attend one of two seminar days to take place on:

- Tuesday Nov. 4th in the CSIC facilities in Madrid: Instituto de Química Orgánica General, C/ Juan de la Cierva 3, 28006, Madrid:

- Thursday Nov. 6th hosted by the BSC (Barcelona Supercomputing Center) in the Sala Juntes at the Rectorat building of UPC. Campus Nord, edifici R, c/Jordi Girona 31, 08034, Barcelona:
http://www.upc.es/catala/la-upc/planols/rect_serv_generals.htm

We have an exciting program in which we will cover recent advances in biomolecular modeling through their successful applications in drug discovery.

Schedule

The day will be divided into two sessions. The morning session will feature presentations of case studies highlighting the use of key techniques such as loop refinement, protein flexibility in ligand docking via induced fit docking, detection of multiple binding modes in ligand-based design, and the use of fragment docking and exposure of the XP scoring function to identify key protein/ligand interactions for lead optimization.

The afternoon session will provide an opportunity for introductory training on the use of Schrödinger software and for direct interaction with Schrödinger scientists.

Registration

Participation is free of charge, but space is limited so we kindly ask you to register by contacting us.

Who Should Attend?

The day will be suitable for a wide range of attendees, from those with little experience in the use of computational techniques wanting to learn more about their potential impact on drug discovery, to practicing computational chemists wanting to learn more about the use of recent advances in the Schrödinger suite. Attendees can take advantage of the introductory training and direct contact with Schrödinger scientists.
