This unit provides an introduction to the techniques and applications of molecular modelling with particular emphasis on methods used in drug design.The unit contains two streams: modelling methods; which introduces quantum mechanics, molecular mechanics, energy optimisation and molecular simulation and modelling applications; which covers quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR), pharmacophores, structure-based drug design and homology modelling.This will involve: modelling methods in computational chemistry applications of molecular modelling -- Course Website
