CHE705P - Molecular Modelling for Drug Discovery - 2024/25

The module covers popular molecular modelling techniques for drug discovery. The emphasis is on approaches that use information on the structure of biological targets as opposed to ligand-based methods (covered by other modules in the programme). Modelling methods such as homology modelling, virtual screening, and molecular dynamics simulations are presented by including both theoretical and practical aspects. The module also highlights the importance of assessing the quality and reliability of modelling.
