The team has expertise to use molecular modeling tools/packages to address problems in 

  • 2D/3D-QSAR studies on ligand datasets having biological activities
  • De novo ligand Design using receptor assisted techniques
  • Receptor-based virtual screening using Molecular Docking principles
  • Ligand-based virtual screening using Pharmacophore modelling principles
  • Molecular dynamics Simulation to predict binding mode ligands to proteins (receptor/enzyme)
  • Build 3D-models of target protein (receptor/enzyme) using principles like comparative modelling, threading
  • Study of small protein folding using Simulated Annealing Simulations or Replica Exchange Simulations
  • Model Host Guest complexes that involve crown ethers, lipid micelles, cyclodextrins etc. to identify the complexation geometries and estimate binding energies
  • Study HOMO-LUMO energies, Vibrational energies, predict conformational transition states, reaction transition states
  • and many other problems that requires the knowledge and skill sets in Bio-informatics and Chemo-informatics
