Dear
colleagues,
We want to announce the sixth workshop on
"New Approaches in Drug Design and
Discovery"
to be hold next year, in March 22-25, 2010 in Rauischholzhausen, Germany.
Over the last years we have successfully established a series of
workshops with biannual frequency,
and we would like to organize the next workshop on the special
topic:
"The Interactome: From Atom-Atom Contacts to Networks in
Systems Biology”
This
topic will cover the latest developments in the field of drug discovery
taking
the increasing expertise about networking among proteins in cellular
processes
into consideration. What can systems biology contribute to our field of
research? Can we expect important insights into the mode of action of
drugs,
particularly with respect to “poly-pharmacology”? Nevertheless, we
do
not want
to loose the sight on molecular aspects of our field of interest.
Therefore, we
want to start from atomic details of interactions as captured by
quantum
chemistry and proceed via computational tools that support the design
and
ranking of our hypotheses. The meeting will also cover latest
developments in
some special target classes such as kinases and P450 enzymes. What can
chemical
biology contribute to screening, target discovery, and lead discovery?
Such
techniques are also of utmost importance in the characterization of
protein
networking in cells. How much can computational tools support the
identification of proteins that mutually talk to each other in
signalling
cascades?
Do
not miss to reserve early on your participation in this meeting. You
