Description:
This course focuses on the practical applications of Virtual Screening and Molecular Docking for various biomolecular interactions, including protein-protein, protein-ligand, DNA-ligand, DNA-protein, RNA-ligand, and RNA-protein. Students will use tools like MOE, Schrödinger, and AutoDock to perform hands-on docking simulations, evaluate binding affinities, and optimize molecular interactions for drug discovery and biomolecular research.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
Conduct virtual screening for a variety of biomolecular interactions, including protein-protein, protein-ligand, DNA, and RNA.
Perform molecular docking simulations using computational tools to evaluate binding affinities between proteins, ligands, DNA, and RNA.
Analyze docking results and optimize biomolecular interactions for drug discovery and research.
Use tools like MOE, Schrödinger, and AutoDock to execute docking simulations for complex biomolecular systems.
