Course - First Principles in Binding Kinetics: Towards Predicting Structure-Kinetics Relationships

Cambridge Healthtech Institute & Bio-IT World organizes a dinner short course on June 6, 2012 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston in Cambridge, MA. The course will be held at the conclusion of day one of the Structure-Based Drug Design conference.
 
Feb. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- This course will address the questions on “why should I care about kinetics?” and “how can I understand and predict Structure-Kinetics relationships?”  We will first review the role of binding kinetics in drug action and then focus on the particular case of protein-ligand non-covalent complexes, reviewing what is known so far about the structural determinants of binding kinetics. This course will help you with a better understanding and increased awareness of current state of the chemistry and pharmacology of binding kinetics.

Instructors:
David Swinney, Ph.D., CEO, Institute for Rare and Neglected Diseases Drug Discovery (iRND3)

Xavier Barril, Ph.D., ICREA Research Professor, Physical Chemistry Department, University of Barcelona

Date: June 6, 2012
Time: 6:00-8:00 pm
Place: Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston, Cambridge, Massachusetts
