Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Successful mastering of the Bachelor EL courses. Knowledge of the theoretical foundations of biotechnology. Ability to independently apply the acquired knowledge and skills, perform practical work, work with scientific and methodological literature.
Course content
The subject of study of the discipline are current methods of searching for drugs. The need for a new generation of drugs is an urgent problem due to the spread of new dangerous diseases, such as Zika virus, and the emergence of drug-resistant strains of a number of pathogens and forms of serious diseases. Navigation in chemical space, work with databases of chemical compounds, skills of filtering large and ultra-large databases of heterocycles. Ability to work with biopolymer structures, and skills to process the results of doping programs highlighting key interactions in the model of the binding site.
