From Genomes to small-molecules: Integrating systems and structures in drug design - Rafael Najmanovich (UdeM)

In this talk we present a range of tools developed in the Najmanovich Research Group (NRG) traversing from genomes to small-molecules. Namely, 1. Using systems biology to detect potential targets, 2. Binding-site 3D atomic similarities to detect potential cross-reactivity targets, 3. Normal mode analysis to predict the effect of mutations and generate conformational ensembles and 4. Docking simulations to identify inhibitors. We will demonstrate the use of these tools in a number of applications. La conférence est pour tout public et le café est servi dès 11h30 https://pharmacologie-physiologie.umontreal.ca/recherche/chercheurs/rafael-najmanovich/
