Synergix - Drugdesign: Molecular Conceptor Learning Series
The "Molecular Conceptor Learning Series" is an innovative, computer-based learning solution that aims to bring together, in a ready-digested format, knowledge of
medicinal chemistry, drug design, cheminformatics, structural bioinformatics and molecular modeling, necessary to the skills, techniques and approaches used by a
drug discovery team as a whole. It provides all the information needed by the medicinal chemist to allow him to analyze, understand and make informed decisions
concerning the design of a drug, thus enabling them to contribute effectively to the drug discovery process. The Learning Series comprises five computer-based
learning modules each of which, are designed to give students and professionals in the drug discovery field the comprehensive training necessary to face even the
toughest drug design challenges.
Modules of the Molecular Conceptor Learning Series
|
Medicinal Chemistry
The Medicinal Chemistry course module covers all the topics that provide a basis to understanding medicinal chemistry and the techniques used on
a daily basis by the medicinal chemist. Topics such as the Molecular Basis of Drugs, Principles of Rational Drug Design, Structure Activity Relationships,
QSAR, Synthesis, Bioisosterism, Library Design and ADME properties are all presented in this module.
|
|
Drug Design
The dynamic nature of the modern drug discovery field means that new techniques are constantly being developed to boost productivity of the drug design process.
The Drug Design course module presents the theory behind and the methodology used in modern drug design. Topics covered include structure-based design, molecular
docking, ligand-based approaches, pharmacophore elucidation, peptidomimetics and 3D-QSAR.
|
|
Cheminformatics
The Cheminformatics course module discusses a range of in silico techniques that are used by computational chemists in the process of drug discovery.
The topics presented in this chapter include the principles and applications of cheminformatics, encoding molecules, 3D database searching, molecular
similarity and molecular docking.
|
|
Structural Bioinformatics
The Structural Bioinformatics course module discusses the molecular modeling, structure analysis and database searching techniques used to predict and analyse
the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules, such as proteins, and relate this information to their function. The application of these techniques
to structure-based design is also examined.
|
|
Practical Drug Discovery: Case Studies
For those that are already familiar with the principles surrounding and the techniques used in drug discovery, the course module
"Practical Drug Discovery: Case Studies" is made up of specific examples and case studies that examine real life drug discovery projects,
how a range of drug design techniques were applied in each case and how the methods used impacted on the success of the project.

Features of the Molecular Conceptor Learning Series
-
Organize your course in your own way and launch customized presentations.
The Molecular Conceptor Learning Series allows you to select and order the pages that you wish to concentrate on or include in a particular lecture or presentation,
therefore creating a bookmark specific to a topic. As there is the option to share bookmarks with others, you could create a bookmark of "directed study" for your
students or share a bookmark with a colleague.
-
Self-learning
The Molecular Conceptor Learning Series is particularly suited for self-learning, whether you are a student, a teacher or a medicinal chemist.
You can refresh your understanding, familiarize yourself with the field, or integrate this knowledge in a broader sense with your particular activities.
Molecular Conceptor includes the following:
