ELIXIR | 3D-Bioinfo: Integrating structural and functional data to support in silico predictions in drug design
Date:
Thursday, 3rd September
Time:
13:30 to 16:30 (CEST)
Instructors and helpers
- Christine Orengo | University College London (UCL), United Kingdom
- Preeti Choudhary | Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe), United Kingdom
- Vincent Zoete | University of Lausanne (UNIL), Switzerland
Summary
The 3D-BioInfo Community aims to increase
interoperability between resources by developing and promoting data
standards, integrating data where appropriate and developing robust
benchmarking strategies for prediction algorithms (e.g. protein structures,
complexes, ligand/drug docking). Two major activities are the integration of
known and predicted functional site data (e.g. ligand binding and protein
interface residues) and protein ligand docking. In the first part of this
tutorial students will be taught how to access the site data in the PDBe
Knowledge Base. The second part will then cover protein ligand interactions
and drug design.
Target audience
Attendees with an interest in finding and understanding functional information related to macromolecular structures and drug binding sites. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of biology and very basic knowledge of chemistry.
Maximum participants
This tutorial is open to at most 20 attendees.
Requirements
Computer with UCSF Chimera installed and a web browser (recent version of Firefox or Chrome).
