CADD: Challenges in Target Family Receptor Modeling
This session will explore the difficulties and successes in modeling receptor families such as GPCRs and Nuclear Hormone Receptors for drug design. Talks will range from homology modeling and ligand-based design to structure-based studies. Speakers will be encouraged to focus on achieving selectivity within a target family.
Sponsor: Schr�dinger, ACS Division of Computers in Chemistry (COMP)
Organizer:Dora Schnur
