Abstract

As a computational chemist at CBCS, I support projects from computational chemistry. This application is to perform computational analysis by using computational tools and techniques to advance drug discovery projects. We aim to accelerate the identification and subsequent optimization of potential hits. I perform structure-based virtual screening to identify hits that exhibit favorable interactions with the target. Additionally, I apply MD simulations for a more detailed investigation on protein-ligand interaction and their stability.
