150 credits of which 120 credits in biomedicine, pharmaceutical science, natural science and/or technology. Prior studies should include 10 credits in general chemistry and organic chemistry. Participation in the course Computational Medicinal Chemistry. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
The course covers advanced methods and strategies used in medicinal chemistry research with a focus on computer-aided drug design. The course includes protein-ligand interactions, docking, chemo-informatics, molecular dynamics simulations, free energy calculations, and quantum chemistry. Application of these techniques in virtual screening, structure-based design, and ligand-based design will be addressed and used in computer exercises.
