Overview
This workshop aims to present several computer-aided drug design tools developed at SIB. Several examples are taken from different therapeutical fields. The exercises are available to a wide audience.
Objectives
At the end of the tutorial, participants are expected to be able to: use UCSF chimera to display molecules in 3D and analyse protein-ligand complexes, submit docking calculations in SwissDock and analyse results, use SwissBioisostere for lead optimization, use SwissTargetPrediction to predict primary and secondary targets of small molecules and predict drug repurposing
