Organizing

National Workshop On Molecular Modeling for Drug Designing (MMDD)

During March 13th -17th, 2012

Under Bioinformatics Infrastructural Facility of Department of
Biotechnology, New Delhi
&
Special Interest Group on Bioinformatics of Computer Society of India.

Aims and Objective

The main objective of MMDD is to familiarize basic
concepts of computational chemistry/biology for molecular structure
and drug design and to provide practical knowledge of working with
live problems on molecular modeling and drug designing by hands on
practice on various tools through project works.

The wide scope of MMDD should provide an excellent opportunity for
sharing experiences, knowledge and ideas amongst Faculty, Students,
Research Scholars, IT Professionals, research organizations, Engineers
with specialization in Life Sciences / Computer Sciences /
Engineering / Mathematics / Medical Sciences / Pharmacy / Chemistry /
Chemical Engineering.

This workshop will cover the hands-on sessions on various software
like Chemcketch, Chemdraw, JDraw, JMol, SPDBV, ArgusLab, AutoDock,
FOLDIT, ROSETTA, Procheck and several other standalone and Web based
tools.

The main theme of workshop is:

A project will be assigned to each participant to work on problems and
the best project will be awarded.

Topics/Contents to be Covered

• System biology and its role in Drug Designing
• Molecule structure representation and visualization
• Structure databases: PDB, CATH, SCOP, FSSP, PubChem
• Molecule Drawing tools: Chemsketch and JDraw
• Structure optimization: Molecular mechanics and dynamics.
Force field
• Computational methods in protein folding study
• Protein structure prediction: Homology modeling and
threading
• Computational methods in Molecular docking: Protein-protein,
drug-protein, DNA-Protein
• Methods in drug designing
• QSAR study
• Case studies.
