Content

This module deals with the practical application of basic techniques and tools of computer-aided drug design. The program packages BALLView, VMD, Glide, Prime and Modeller are used for this purpose. Initially, the focus is on the preparation and visualization of 3D structures. In addition, specific intramolecular interactions of protein-ligand complexes are examined in more detail and selected ligands are docked into a pharmaceutically interesting target. The second part of the lab focuses on virtual high-throughput screening and rational structure-based drug design.

Objectives

(1) Students are fundamentally able to handle standard tools of structure-based drug design, (2) are familiar with the practical handling of protein and ligand structures and (3) are able to interpret the results of these tools and techniques and critically assess them with regard to their relevance.
