    Abstract : Background  Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic disorder in genetically predisposed individuals in which damage to the small intestine is caused by eating foods containing gluten. The prevalence has been shown to vary from around 1-3%, but most people with CD are undiagnosed. READ MORE

  4. 2. Structure-Based Virtual Screening : New Methods and Applications in Infectious Diseases

    Author : Micael Jacobsson; Anders Karlén; Mats Kihlén; Antti Poso; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; : drug discovery; docking; scoring; virtual screening; malaria; tuberculosis; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Läkemedelskemi;

    Abstract : A drug discovery project typically starts with a pharmacological hypothesis: that the modulation of a specific molecular biological mechanism would be beneficial in the treatment of the targeted disease. In a small-molecule project, the next step is to identify hits, i.e. molecules that can effect this modulation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Computational Methods in Medicinal Chemistry : Mechanistic Investigations and Virtual Screening Development

    Author : Fredrik Svensson; Christian Sköld; Anders Karlén; Anna Linusson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DFT; IRAP; Virtual Screening; Catalysis; Palladium; Medicinal Chemistry; Läkemedelskemi;

    Abstract : Computational methods have become an integral part of drug development and can help bring new and better drugs to the market faster. The process of predicting the biological activity of large compound collections is known as virtual screening, and has been instrumental in the development of several drugs today in the market.
