Aug. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Yibing Shan, Senior Scientist of Chemistry and Biology at D. E. Shaw Research will give a presentation on “How Millisecond Molecular Dynamics Simulations May Be Applied to The Structure-Based Design of Kinase Drugs” at the 5th Drug Design and Medicinal Chemistry Conference to be held in San Diego, CA on October 19-21, 2011 by GTC.

Understanding the extensive conformational heterogeneity of protein kinases is a crucial step in characterizing the binding and specificity of kinase drugs.  Long molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which recently reached the millisecond timescale for the first time, may prove a powerful tool in advancing this understanding. Yibing Shan will discuss DE Shaw Research MD studies of the Abl, Src, and EGFR kinases and early examples of such efforts.

The 5th Drug Design and Medicinal Chemistry Conference will discuss strategies for hit and target identification, fragment based drug design, chemoinformatics, protein-protein interactions, ligand based drug design, computer aided drug design, protein flexibility, high performance computing, covalent inhibitors, mutational resistance, selectivity of kinase inhibitors, potency, specificity, lead optimization, ADMET, safety in drug discovery, advances in drug delivery and much more.

This conference is part of the 7th Modern Drug Discovery & Development Summit, which includes three other concurrent tracks: 5th Biomarker Discovery & Development, 5th Advances in Stem Cell Discovery & Development and 4th Protein Discovery & Therapeutics.

Wednesday, October 19 will be dedicated to a Plenary Keynote session. Thursday, October 20 and Friday, October 21 will be dedicated to the four individual conference tracks of the summit.
