Macro-Molecular Modeling

In this course, we will study how to model small chemical and biochemical systems. Molecular modeling of biological molecules, including proteins and their respective endogenous ligands, agonists and antagonists. Protein modeling includes the study of primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures. Ligand interactions are discovered through docking and pharmacophore modeling. Protein-ligand interactions are visualized in the 3-D space.
