The Department of Pharmaceutical Technology in association with Medino organized aone-day webinar on “Experimental Methods for Structure Based Drug Discovery” on 31.08.2023 (Friday). The students from Department of Pharmaceutical Technology attended the webinar. The resource person Dr. M. Nachiappan astonished with various information about new drug development process and experimental methods involved in predicting chemical structure of drug molecule. He also discussed about the different mechanisms involved in binding of drug and target. In developing a new drug in silico approach plays a major role in structure based drug discovery. He also discussed about recent trends in drug discovery against unknown diseases and already existing disease. The tools used for predicting the structure of the drug, active site prediction, docking tools. The students made the session very interactive by asking their doubts related to computer aided drug design. The resource person clarified their doubts patiently and made the session successful.
