Course Objective(s):Exposure to various methods of rational drug design such as modelling of protein and target-small molecule interactions, molecular docking, lead optimization, combinatorial chemistry and library design, Virtual screening, Toxicity (ADMET) property analysis, Pharmacophore modelling and apply QSAR.

COURSE OUTCOMES:

After completion of the course, the students will be able to

 CO1: Gain knowledge and skill to understand the drug discovery process, rational methods

CO2: Identify and design molecules for new medications greatly shortening the discovery phase of drug development by computational methods.

CO3:Analyse and validate the target, and learn Hit-to-lead optimization

CO4: Evaluate protein models and perform structure prediction.

CO5: Apply molecular docking techniques.
