This module will teach you two important concepts in drug discovery. The first is Fragment-Based Drug Design and how it is applied in drug discovery projects. It has been regularly used during the past 15 years, and many new drugs have been discovered as a result.
The second is virtual screening or docking. This is a technique that uses computer power and advanced computational techniques to screen millions of potential drug molecules.
The unique tutorial and practical sections will equip you with good skills in using online databases and modern computational techniques:
- Virtual screening / Docking and software
- Basic Python programming using RDKit
- Online chemical databases
