5th National Symposium cum Workshop on “Recent Trends in Structural
Bioinformatics and Computer Aided Drug Design” [SBCADD’2013]
19th- 22rd February, 2013
Organized by
Department of Bioinformatics
ALAGAPPA UNIVERSITY
(Reaccredited with ‘A’ Grade by NAAC )
KARAIKUDI – 630003, TAMIL NADU, INDIA
SYMPOSIUM THEME
Human Genome Project is largely complete, so the problem facing by scientists
is how to maximize the use of the newly acquired data for improving health
care. It is estimated that the number of therapeutic targets available for drug
discovery will increase from the current number of 600 to 1000 to perhaps as
many as 5000 to 10,000. In addition to the challenges that this number provides
to the pharmaceutical industry, there is the issue of sequence variation
through Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), some of which may impact upon
the way that the body handles drug treatment. This may be due to a direct
effect on the binding site of the protein target through non-conservative
alterations of the amino acid sequence, or else through indirect effects on
drug metabolizing enzymes. In order to meet these challenges, the combination
of structural proteomics and computer-aided small molecule design provides
opportunities for creating new molecules in silico; these may be designed to
bind to selected pharmacogenetic variants of a protein in order to overcome the
non-responsiveness of certain patient groups to a particular medicine.
