  2. 1. Ligand-based Methods for Data Management and Modelling

    Author : Jonathan Alvarsson; Jarl E. S. Wikberg; Ola Spjuth; Claes Andersson; Martin Eklund; John P. Overington; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; QSAR; ligand-based drug discovery; bioclipse; information system; cheminformatics; bioinformatics; Farmaceutisk farmakologi; Pharmaceutical Pharmacology; Bioinformatik; Bioinformatics;

    Abstract : Drug discovery is a complicated and expensive process in the billion dollar range. One way of making the drug development process more efficient is better information handling, modelling and visualisation. The majority of todays drugs are small molecules, which interact with drug targets to cause an effect. READ MORE

  4. 2. Drug discovery against leishmaniasis : Bio- and chemoinformatic guided strategies for target evaluation and hit identification

  6. 4. Experimental and computational investigation of affinity and selectivity factors in CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 mediated metabolism

    Author : Britta Bonn; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cytochrome P450; in vitro metabolism; biotransformation; computational modeling; drug design;

    Abstract : The assessment of ADME properties and metabolic behavior of a drug is central in drug discovery and drug design. The main target for studies of metabolic properties is the Cytochrome P450 (CYP), which is responsible for the metabolism of a majority of drugs on the market and consequently also involved in many drug-drug interactions.
