INTRODUCTION:
Design of a novel drug is one of the biggest challenges faced by the pharmaceutical industry. The use of computers accelerates the process of drug design which is a time intensive process, and also reduces the cost of whole process. Computational methods are used in various forms of drug discovery like virtual screening and structure-based drug designing technique. Structure based drug design is gaining importance due to rapid growth in structural data (available in RCSB & Nucleic acid Data Bank). This structural data can be used in molecular modeling to design lead molecules based on the structural features of the active site. With the challenges that are faced by the drug industry today, drug development teams require a specific combination of skills to ensure they stay abreast of scientific advancements and are at the forefront of the market. This course provides an overview of such skills and principles of drug design.
