Molecular Conceptor is the
first multimedia courseware for teaching 3D drug design
principles. After covering basic information about drug
discovery and molecular modeling methods, this CD ROM
explains how molecular geometry and computed properties
are used to design lead compounds. It reviews strategies
to mimic small molecules, design inhibitors and
peptidomimetics. Concepts are illustrated with
manipulatable views of molecules, pharmacophores, and
protein ligand complexes. It aims the education of
students and professors, the training of medicinal
chemists, and may serve as a refresher course for
modelers.
