EECS Colloquium
Abstract
This talk is an introduction to some problems in computational biology that are motivated by attempts to speed up the discovery of new pharmaceuticals. In particular I will discuss the following problems: interpreting protein NMR and X-ray data, inferring constraints on the shape of active drug molecules based on measurements of activity of related drug molecules, and docking candidate drug molecules to known protein targets. The talk will introduce and motivate these computational problems and (briefly) illustrate some approaches to their solution. The talk will not assume knowledge of organic chemistry or molecular biology.
