The American Chemical Society Short Course
Molecular Modeling: Methods and Techniques
Two Sessions: May 21-24, 1996 and August 20-23, 1996
Laboratory for Molecular Graphics and Theoretical Modeling
College of Pharmacy, University of Texas at Austin
Eleven previous four-day "hands-on" short courses have been offered with over
275 registrants from diverse backgrounds in the chemical, biological, and
biomedical fields of research and teaching.
Each student will have their own Silicon Graphics workstation and access to
desktop computers for the duration of the short course. There will be daily
"hands-on" laboratory sessions so YOU can work with state-of-the-art hardware
and software.
Topics: Molecular Mechanics Calculations, Molecular Mechanics Parameterization,
Quantum Mechanics Calculations, Conformational Searching, Drug Design,
Pharmacophore Development, 3D Databases, 3D Searching Strategies, and
Combinatorial Chemistry Concepts
Who Should Attend?
Anyone wanting to know more about molecular structure calculations,
pharmacophore design, 3D database searching, and structure-function
relationships. The course has been designed primarily for experimental
scientists in industry or academics with a background in the chemical,
biological, and/or biomedical sciences.
Software: MM2/MM3, SYBYL, INSIGHT/DISCOVER, QUANTA/CHARMm, SPARTAN, ISIS,
CONCORD, CAChe, and more
