The Indian Institute of Chemical Biology (IICB) and Schrödinger will be holding an international seminar on "Computational Drug Discovery in Pharma R & D" at the IICB Kolkata campus on August 3. The seminar will cover the following topics:
- Importance of CADD in pharma R & D
- How to prepare ligands and proteins before computational studies
- Docking in virtual screening of ligands
- Combinatorial library generation and docking
- QM/MM docking and polarized ligand docking methods
- Protein modeling
- Novel methods to predict protein conformational changes during ligand binding
- Pharmacophore-based drug discovery
- Recent advances in ligand binding energy prediction methods
Scientists, teachers, and research students working in computational drug discovery are encouraged to participate. For more information and to register, please click here to visit the seminar web page.
