CHEM 4340 - Drug Discovery Laboratory

Institution:

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Subject:

Description:

In this laboratory associated with CHEM-4330, students will reduce to practice the chemical and biological aspects of high-throughput screening used to discover lead molecules. Colorimetric and fluorescence plate readers will be used in 96-well plate format to generate enzyme inhibition data for small libraries of organic molecules. Students will use these inhibition data and published X-ray structural data to develop a pharmacophore model and rationalize a structure-activity relationship.
