Thematik

Students will get deeper insights into the mechanisms of drug interactions at molecular level applying fundamental molecular modelling methods. Further answering the scientific questions students will get skills to perform high quality figures and schemes of molecules and molecular interactions to present their results and presentation content in lectures, diploma works or thesises. In this course the basic examination methods of theoretical chemistry will be discussed by the practical point of view in the frame of following subtopics: Methods of molecular modelling. Description of the forcefield, semiempirical, ab initio and density functional methods, advantages and disadvantages. Discovering the balance between the model ant the calculation methods. The algorithm of the choice of appropriate model and calculation method. Short description of the basic rules and mathematical background of theoretical chemistry. calculation of the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. Calculation the equilibrium conformations of molecules, the role of the entropy in the interactions of bioactive molecules and its calculation. Description of the correlation between the reactivity and the temperature. Examples at molecular level. Considering the molecular environment: explicit and implicit methods. Interesting examples and applications in pharmacy.
