About the course

The course covers advanced methods and strategies used in medicinal chemistry research with a focus on computer-aided drug design. The course includes protein-ligand interactions, docking, chemo-informatics, molecular dynamics simulations, free energy calculations, and quantum chemistry. Application of these techniques in virtual screening, structure-based design, and ligand-based design will be addressed and used in computer exercises.
