Molecular Modelling for Drug Discovery

Module code: CHE705P

Credits: 15.0
Semester: SEM1

Contact: Dr Wojciech Kopec

This module covers the main molecular modelling techniques used in drug discovery, with emphasis on structure-based approaches. Topics include protein structure, protein-ligand interactions, classical force fields, homology modelling, molecular docking, structure-based virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations. Practical lab sessions will complement face-to-face teaching and provide the students with the opportunity to use a range of popular modelling tools for drug discovery and assess their performance.
