Description
This course is about drug design and how to find and create drugs that will work best for a specific person or group of people. It covers a wide range of topics, including how receptors work and how to classify them, as well as the methods used to study drug interactions.
Employs a wide range of examples from G protein-coupled receptors and ligand-gated ion channels. Illustrates the principles of pharmacological analysis and receptor classification that are the basis of rational drug design. Explains the experimental and theoretical methods used to characterize interactions between ligands and receptors.
