Drug Design Workshop: A Web-Based Educational Tool To Introduce Computer-Aided Drug Design to the General Public

Abstract: Due to its impact on society, the design of new drugs has the potential to interest a wide audience, and provides a rare opportunity to introduce several concepts in chemistry and biochemistry. Drug design can be seen as a multiobjective cyclic optimization process. Indeed, it is important to develop the understanding not only that a drug is generally an effective ligand for a protein of therapeutic interest, but also that these molecules need to have drug-like properties. Computer-aided drug design and bioinf… Show more

“…an imbalance in the four humors), strides to systematize the use of medicinals (description of herbals in De Materia Medica ), observations about proper dosage, philosophies regarding monopharmy versus polypharmy, evidence of successful therapies, and the “first” clinical trial aboard the HMS Salisbury. [18] The timeline ends at the beginning of the modern era of scientific discovery, with the observation that tree bark contains many components, and that isolated components are the active principles that prompt medicinal effects. [18] The goals of this introductory unit are to convey that scientific thought evolves over time and to motivate students to build their molecular worldview so that they can understand what active principles are, how they can be isolated, and how they elicit a biological effect to enhance human health.…”

“…The biological context and usage of the workshops are extensively provided in dedicated Web pages and in a previous article. [6] The main goal of these on-line workshops is to let the user enter the iterative cycle of designing and optimizing a molecule to make it a strong ligand for the protein target. This is achieved by hiding the technical complexity behind a simple and user-friendly interface, and by using enough approximations to keep the calculation time short (about two minutes or less) for the process to be truly interactive.…”

“…Entsprechend wurde das Thema Wirkstoffentwicklung (oder Teilaspekte davon) in den letzten Jahren wiederholt mit Bezug zur gymnasialen Oberstufe aufgegriffen. Es wurden mehrere Anläufe unternommen, es für den schulischen Einsatz zu erschließen , was ebenfalls seine Zukunftsrelevanz und Aktualität mit Blick auf die Chemiedidaktik unterstreicht. Auch zum Einsatz in der Hochschullehre wurden mehrere Publikationen zur Thematik veröffentlicht .…”
