The workshops are open to the public and all interested parties are welcome to attend - no prior software experience is required to participate. Please find course information and related details below. The workshop is free but pre-registration is required since places are limited, to register please visit : http://www.chemcomp.com/Workshops-North_America.htm Lunch, and refreshments will be provided during the workshops, please bring your own laptop to the workshop*. Date: CCG Workshops - Friday April 15, 2016 Location: UCSF - Smith Cardiovascular Research Bldg (CVRI), 555 Mission Bay Blvd S., first floor seminar room. ================================================================ 08:30-09:00 Morning break* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - 09:00-12:00 Structure-Based Drug Design and Ligand Modification Molecular Surfaces and Maps / Ligand Interactions / Conformational Searching / Ligand Optimization / Ligand Selectivity / Protein Alignments and Superposition - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - 12:00-13:00 Lunch* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - 13:00-17:00 Antibody Modeling and Protein Engineering in MOE Protein-Protein Interactions / Protein Properties / Developability / Hot Spot Analysis / Antibody Modeling / Molecular Surfaces / Protein-protein docking ================================================================ *Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. ================================================================ -- Course title: Structure-Based Drug Design and Ligand Modification Course description: The course covers MOE applications for interactive structure based design. Examples include active site visualization, protein-ligand contact analysis and ligand modification/optimization in the receptor pocket. Conformational searching and analysis of the ligand to assess ligand flexibility will be discussed. A protocol for aligning and superposing protein complexes in the context of protein selectivity will be studied. Course title: Antibody Modeling and Protein Engineering in MOE Course description: The course covers approaches for structure-based biologics design and includes protein-protein interactions analysis, in silico protein engineering, affinity modeling and antibody homology modeling. The interaction of a co-crystallized antibody-antigen complex will be evaluated by generating and examining the molecular surface topology and visualizing protein-protein interactions in 3D and 2D. The application of protein engineering tools for homology modeling and conducting property optimization of an antibody-antigen complex in the context developability will be studied.All the steps necessary for producing and assessing antibody homology models will be described. Methods for evaluating the structure of protein and antibody models will be discussed. *If you don't have access to MOE, please communicate with me prior to the workshop, I will set up a demo key for you so you can follow along on your personal laptop.
